Supposedly the frames were made in the Torpado factory, and from what I understand, Torresini ran Torpado.

My SuperLight has only the slotted spider; no drilled arms. The milled spider slots can be called "factory". I've no idea what the drilled rings are supposed to look like, or if those on the eBay bike are correct, 'cause my drilled rings are long gone. I've never seen a SuperLight with the holes in the crankarms like the eBay bike has... Has anyone else?

Take a look at:
