Yes, please! Does anyone have the info that Russ is asking for? I am the buyer of this bike, and would just LOVE to hear about any stories or facts associated with it's era. I have very little in the way of info from that time period. Can someone possibly find the PIC and data in the book that Russ mentions, and scan them? This, would be a wonderful act of kindness! Any info or images collected by me, will be featured on my up-and-coming devoted website: Bici Torpado! Full credit given! Thanks very much in advance...
