Anyone here familiar with Torelli bikes? Good? Bad? One for sale here locally with 10sp Record components in my size... :)

I've got a Countache OS from about 1999. Italian steel - what more needs to be said...

Very comfortable, rides smooth as silk. I still throw some fenders on it and use it for my winter bike when the roads are sloppy and sandy - very stable, predictable handling.

I can highly recommend the brand based on my 1 bike experience!

Had a 1997 Countach OS which I very much liked. Excellent ride, good build quality (as far as I could tell), gorgeous paint, nicely prepped (head tube & BB faced, all threads chased). I would still have it now if it wasn't just a little too large for me.

Exactly, Charlie. I've got one, ordering another, and still stalking sleaze-bay and cl for another one. Italian steel? Next question!

Great frames for the price.

Wow!! Thanks for all the positive responses. I've made an appointment to see the bike tomorrow morning.

My wife is going to kill me if I bring home another bike.... :p

Saw a great t-shirt that covered this subject. Front: "My wife says she's going to leave me if I buy another bike". Back: "I'm really going to miss her".

I want that shirt. For some reason, I don't think my wife will think it's funny.

Remind her it could be many other things you're addicted to. Gambling, drugs, booze, strippers, shopping, cars etc.
