Re: Bike Needs Home
Not funny, but cool history of the Torpado brand.
Once one of the biggest Italian bike brands in the 50s and 60’s and was still popular in the 80’s in Quebec.

Arcane detail:
Torpado was Aldo Moser’s (brother of Francesco Moser, hour record holder, and winner of the giro winner, worlds, Roubaix etc.) first pro team. He won the tropheo Barrachi, a classic 2-up time trial twice, and gp des nations tt, the unofficial world championship of time trialling (before it was added to the worlds).

I think we need a L’Eroica ride in Victoria. Where else can you flaunt your uninhibited brake cables and chrome lugs?
