Torelli bike
I was thinking to build a bike with straight bars, for the coming season, to go around when I need.
I had this Torelli frame and fork which is not looking too nice, it has a lot of scratches and ugly touch ups.
So, I put on it whatever I have around: has a Campagnolo crank set, Shimano 600 tricolor derailleurs and shifters, Modolo Speedy brake calipers with red levers, SR bars and stem, Brooks seat.
The wheels are Mavic with Ultegra hubs, glued tires.
I have no idea how much are costing there tires and how to replace them, so I am thinking to replace the wheels with a 700C set.
The bike has 22 lbs, "as is".
The frame and fork are Columbus EL.

While it's hard to see the condition from a computer screen, it does seem like a shame to relegate that frameset to the status of an errand / city bike.

Really odd mix of tubulars and upright bars! To each their own.

Sorry about that. I built it a month ago, and I add the bars yesterday.
I really didn't know what I have till today.
I still have the bars and stem 3ttt.
But no Campagnolo parts left.
