The lugs and Fork look correct for that style (vintage Italian) of frame, you can look at the bb shell and see if theres some sort of serial number and/or decorative cutaway. Torelli is a American distributor of handmade Italian framesand the 80s Torelli's like mine did not have a model name. Mine was built with 8spd Shimano 5500 STI but i have since changed the STI to 7700 downtube shifters and 5500 aero brake levers. It should weigh in the lower to mid 20s. There were a few variations on the 80s framesets, mine is Columbus SL and has a aero or hidden rear brake cable routing.
sorry to bug you, but I also own a Torelli, and I'm trying to figure out the year it was built. Mine has the old decals, so it's older than yours. Are you sure yours is an '88? That would help me date mine. Thanks for your help.
