Torelli Gran Sasso ~

The Gran Sasso is made in a little shop in Northern Italy. Actually, there are only five employees. The workmanship is distinctly superior to mass-produced bikes.

The Gran Sasso answers the requests we have for a moderately priced handmade bike with a triple chainring. So hit the road, no matter how tough it is, and get the legendary Torelli ride from a nice, hand-crafted steel frame, made by people that care about the ride.

Tubeset: Columbus' "New Thron" tubeset. Made from 25CrMo4 cromoly steel, Thron is drawn to 0.5mm in the main tubes making it an excellent lightweight, resilient material for a high-performance frame when price is an important consideration. The frame is TIG welded by hand. The fork uses an investment cast Walter B-41 crown to improve the handling and feel. Color is medium blue with yellow decals or bright red with yellow decals.

Group: Campagnolo Mirage triple. No pedals.
