Fully lugged Torelli Columbus Zona tubing cyclocross frame and fork

The same frame from the other side. Note the vertical dropouts for easy wheel changes. Also of course it has cantilever brake and two sets of water bottle braze-ons.

From the back. The seat stays are curved to both maximize clearance and vertical compliance. It gives them a little flexibility. There are seat stay rack braze-on as well as dropout eyelets so this bike can easily be loaded for the road.

The head tube with its embossed badge.

The front fork. The full sloping cast crown also enhances the fork's vertical give. Cantilever brake braze-ons and front dropout eyelets are easily seen.
