Hi everyone,
Is it worth doing any additional work on this bike?
My brother and I got it for 60bucks from a friends (too short) who put 160$ worth on new tires, saddle and tape in time for summer. We use it as a beater when it rains.... or should we?
Heres what i know: Its a Torpado (italy), its equipped with campagnolo shifters, has universal breaks mod. 61 , and french chromed RIGIDA wheels.
I dont know what year, what model name... -i know nothing really
after researching the closest i got to were these:
