I fell in love with a bike at my LBS based on the Torelli Toccata frame. The frame has CF tubes and AL lugs. The warranty just isn't as good as other mass-produced bikes I'm interested in such as Specialized Roubaix with lifetime warranty on frame.

Just wondering what other members think about this warranty issue.

I only buy used and never had a frame failure.YMMV. People that ask these kinds of quesions ulually only get a warm fuzzie from an ironclad lifetime full warranty.

Kia's have a big warranty.... that doesn't make them great... Go with the torelli

Go with the the Torelli. The folks there are good people if you do need anything. I've had a Corsa Strada, my only road bike, i bought from them through my LBS and I have never once regretted it.

Go with what you feel works for you. I've never had to worry about warranties with my bikes. You spend so much time doing repairs and making sure everything's ok that I just don't think you'll ever need it.

I can't say what that particular Torelli is like, but the one I have which is a steel frame, is as fine a bike as I could ever want... (unless Mondonico does another anniversary frame before retireing...then it may be time for a FOCO or UltraFoco )

why don't you look at the 6 13...that the same kind of thing

Thank you, folks, your replies were much appreciated. I ordered the Torelli today -- but it will take a few weeks for my frame size and color (yellow) to arrive. My wife can't understand why I spent so much on a bike; hopefully my marriage will last longer than the frame.

Nice!
