frameset from the master designers at Torelli. Hand wrapped (UHM) Ultra High
Modulus carbon throughout, full carbon fork. Exclusive features include an integrated
seat mast, bottom bracket option of English or BB30, plus the coolest carbon paint job around.

Bottom bracket shell:
The Perla is offered with a bottom bracket shell machined to fit
English threading to accept all
standard bottom brackets. And, it is optionally available fully machined to
accept cranksets designed for oversized BB-30 bottom brackets. BB-30 bottom
brackets use oversized 42mm bearings that press into the BB-30 shell against
inner snap rings. We have BB-30 cranksets from FSA, Sram,
and Zipp. And, we have adapters in stock to convert BB-30 to traditional English
thread, just $24.99 (part #bb0030).

Selvino ~
950
grams!
Very likely the best value in a
professional carbon frame on the market. Weight has been reduced to a
feather-light 950 grams in size small! The 12K lugless carbon design allows Chairman Bill
to put the strength where it is needed
most while keeping the ride light and lively. The new rear wheel tuck (see
picture on right) decreases turbulence in a critical area. A rich clear coat
provides a lustrous finish while putting the fine carbon workmanship on full
display. Includes a 350 gram full carbon fork! Color is black with yellow decals
but if you prefer, we can provide any custom paint you would like. Includes
frame, fork, and headset. Requires 31.6 seatpost and English threaded bottom
bracket.
Now available with red rather than yellow decals!
Torelli Cromoly steel frames ~

Torelli Nitro Express ~
Handmade in Torelli's small Italian
workshop of triple butted Columbus "Spirit" heat treated Niobium* cromoly throughout. TIG
welded with fully forged dropouts and cast bottom bracket. Same time-tested geometry as
the Torelli Countach. Painted in the U.S. in your choice of Torelli's 12
luscious Imron colors. Weight is 3.4 pounds. Requires 28.6mm front derailleur, 27.2 seatpost, and
Italian threaded bottom bracket.
*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.
Note on front end: Frameset includes a black Torelli Aspect carbon fork with
1" aluminum steerer tube. If you prefer, you can
substitute a handmade Columbus cromoly threadless steel fork with cast Pavesi
crown all painted to match or
a Columbus "Minimal" full carbon fork.
Also, the Nitro Express is now available with
either traditional 1" or 1 1/8" oversized front end. Make your choice by
selecting the fork size you desire in the dropdown list. The cromoly fork is
available in 1" only, however, we could substitute a Pegoretti 1 1/8" cromoly
fork if you desired; send us an email for upgrade cost.

framesavailable. The

this frame is astonishing. Yet, it has lots of jump and
acceleration.
Torelli Express:
"I've been looking for a yardstick bike, some steel
creature by which I can compare all others. This is it. As a result of this test, steel
remains my favorite material for a bike frame and the Torelli Nitro Express is now the
finest steel bicycle I've ridden." Bicyclist Magazine

Countach ~
"The ride quality
is just super...a timeless blend of solidity and suppleness that speaks of
generations of tubing evolution and time-honored construction....This is a
pro-quality bike, one you could keep and race for years" Bicyclist Magazine

butted and TIG welded Columbus Life* tubing. Bottom bracket shell is investment-cast.
The paint is the finest Dupont Imron and applied in the United States.

tenacity, and superb fatigue endurance.

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 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 of Dupont Imron
plus clear coats.
Frame weight is a mere 3.8 lbs.
