Torelli Bikes and Frames, new old stock and beautiful used frames

We have a few new Torelli frames built by Antonio and Mauro Mondonico in the late 1990s and early 2000s. These frames were built by the masters in their small shop in Concrezzo, Italy. These are steel frames with an extraordinary ride that possess a beauty that only Italian masters can bring to their art. Frames on the page built by Mondonico have been so noted.

Frame only: $1,000.00

• Cane Creek Solos headset
• Frame, fork and headset together weigh 5 pounds.

• Minor touched-up scratches on the drive-side seat stay. See bottom photo.

Headset is Cane Creek Solos: The Solos headset utilizes very low friction bearings for drag free performance. The large diameter balls (5/32") are larger than those of other headset brands and yield reduced rolling resistance. The bearings also incorporate low drag rubber seals and nylon retainer cages for more efficient bearing movement.

In addition to housing fully sealed stainless steel cartridge bearings, the Solos' overhanging cup/cover design keeps contaminants from reaching the bearings. This overhanging "treacherous path" feature is repeated with the lower cup/crown race.

Beautiful work from Italian artisans
