I'm considering going to check this bike out in a little bit, anyone out there know much about Torpados? A couple things of note: it doesn't have the chromed right chain stay, and it's listed as having a simplex derailleur and cottered cranks. From what I can gather, then, it's either a lesser model and/or had non original components added... or maybe it's from a year that I just can't find any information about. However, I feel like it might be a good looking frame that fits me, and if it's rideable without too much hassle I might just consider taking it home with me. Maybe a beginner project bike. Opinions?
