Tipo Uno

Wow, this looks like this is just gonna be cool.





or get the optional bullhorns.





Suggested retail: Complete bike with choice of bars $850.00

Available June, 2008.

Edited for link: https://www.torelli.com/torelli/tipouno.html

I was thinking of that Torelli Pista frame for $750 to build up, but for almost the same price.....this is pretty tempting.

Actually, for what it claims to be (a track geometry bike for road use), it is very, very nice. Hunter green with brown leather -- classy!

I see bottle holder braze-ons, but it seems as though the cable guides are black zip-ties. If this is the case, that's really good.

Tempting.

i prefer the raleigh one way, when it comes to production singlespeeds/fixed gears with green paint and brown leather bits.

Torelli is having the rack made in stainless steel, and it doesn't have those goofy pump holders on theirs.

It seems they also offer the choice of bars and levers when you purchase one. If you read the website it say you can get bull horn or drop levers, with 3 choices of brake levers. Pretty cool.

I aggree cross levers are not that cool but look clean with no levers on the drop of the bar. I personally would go with aero for more path/trail control.

Definitely. It sucks to repack your handlebar bearings and re-lace your stem just to replace levers...
