Spettro Spirit ~
3.7
pounds (56cm frame, center-to-center)
The Torelli Nitro Express is one of the most popular cromoly frames available.
And for good reason! It's light, supple, strong, and extremely comfortable. And
now, for riders that prefer truly classic Italian craftsmanship, the Nitro is
offered in a fully lugged version! The investment cast lugs are
intricately sculpted and completely hand brazed by master craftsmen, in Italy of
course. Tubing is heat treated Columbus Niobium* Spirit cromoly throughout.Niobium gives a nimble ride that is light and stiff while being
significantly more resistant to environmental elements than other cromoly
tubesets .... $2149.99 with fork

*NIOBIUM is a very special steel with
manganese, chrome, nickel, molybdenum and niobium. In careful testing, Niobium
is more effective than Vanadium and other alloys as a strengthening agent.
Columbus' patented chemical composition improves resistance against
precipitation and reduces the alloy grain size for a more resilient ride. After
progressive drawing and forming NIOBIUM undergoes a special heat treatment that
gives the steel its final characteristics. Niobium provides superior mechanical
characteristics and higher resistance to environmental effects than conventional
carbon steels.
Torelli
Delirio ~
3.9
pounds (56cm frame, center-to-center)
The Delirio frameset is built with Columbus Zona* heat treated cromoly tubing
joined with investment cast lugs. Zona is a high end tubeset made of
Columbus' heat treated Nivacrom steel-alloy, the top-of-the-line Columbus steel
until the recent introduction of Niobium as used in the Spettro. Like the
Spettro, this frame is hand brazed in Italy and features the same renowned
Torelli stage race/century geometry. It has been several decades since a frame
of this quality has been available in the U.S. at this price! .... $1349.99 with

Torelli Express:

remains my favorite material for a bike frame and the Torelli Nitro Express is now the
finest steel bicycle I've ridden." Bicyclist Magazine

generations of tubing evolution and time-honored construction....This is a
pro-quality bike, one you could keep and race for years" Bicyclist Magazine

Corsa Strada ~
"I
have to say it again: I love the blissfully quiet ride of the bike's heart of
steel."Bicycling Magazine
The Torelli Corsa Strada is proof that a
well designed frame made with care and slightly less exotic materials will ride
much better than a frame with more exclusive tubing and less manufacturing care. One magazine editor
noted that the Corsa Strada rode almost as well as the Cinelli Super Corsa he was
reviewing at the same time. You can buy a few Corsa Stradas for the price of 1
Cinelli Super Corsa; that puts you FAR ahead!
The Corsa Strada is built in a small
shop north of Padua, Italy. The tubing is Columbus Zona* double-butted cromoly. The top
tube is drawn down to .5 mm, nearly as thin as tubing can go. The
seat lug and Italian threaded bottom bracket shell are investment cast. Front
derailleur is attached by 28.6mm clamp so you can use cranksets in all double,
compact, and triple configurations. Our Corsa Stradas
are shipped
unpainted to the U.S. where they receive a lustrous paint finish in your choice of
12 Dupont Imron
colors and finished with a rich clear coat.
Frame weight is 3.8 lbs.
