You likes? Me too. Nesto over at City Bikes is building up the black Torelli they had in the window. Thomson components, Dura-Ace drivetrain and a standard set of Velocity Deep V’s.  It’s going to be a killer looking ride and I can’t wait to see it next week.

To say this frame is nice is an understatement. Hand tig welded with a beautiful, lugged bottom bracket cluster, this bike is a stunning Italian gem. You can get this frame in 11 different standard colors with prices ranging from $700 - 850 depending on where you look online. If you want the fancy panel paint job (the above red area on the seat tube and down tube) it will set you back several clams to the tone of about $950 and up. Unfortunately, no fork included. I guess that’s how they roll, but it would have been nice to have thrown a nicely done fork in the mix; especially considering how much it costs. Even the Cinelli I mentioned a few posts ago, comes with a fork.

Whatever, even with my little gripe, this is still a beautiful frame.
