[QUOTE=randyjawa;23459809]I have been pretty lucky with finding an old Torpado or two. In truth, more than two dozen have come my way, over the years. That said, two more came my way a short while ago. Both dead original. Both fitted with every Torpado accessory available back then. And both were in great, little used condition (told you I was lucky). Finally, both were Torpado "Super" models, and that got me to thinking...




How many models of these old Torpado road bikes were there, back in the day. The day I refer to is seventies or older, but that does not mean new models should not be mentioned. I was lucky enough to stumble across this Torpado "Super Racing" one day, many years ago. Rode it for one season...


Anyway, any information and/or pictures offered would be appreciated by me and, perhaps, helpful to others. Following are pictures of models that I am also familiar with.

Torpado Professional from the sixties (best guess). "As found" complete with slightly bent frame and all (sold to another forum member who did a heck of a nice job restoring it - perhaps that member will contribute his bike for others to appreciate). By the way, this bike was owned and raced by a professional racer, also pictured...
