Hello again,

Re: Torpado - Mark Agree instilled in me a little bit of Velvet Underground spirit and "Im beginning to see the light" ... so, am chewing on microdot's and ...... nah, am keeping the Torpado to make myself one trick city bike. Single shifter, 5 (or 6 ) speeds, fenders and a set of Cinelli upright bars I've been looking for an excuse to put use to. My one wish is for a few ideas for a well functioning derailleur to use and a question on what the curio or braze on is on the inside of the drive side stays and if thats derailleur related ?? ..... see link - http://homepage.mac.com/bici_pimp/.Pictures/torpado/torp13.jpg

Also, anybody gots a Torpado headbadge for sale?

Re: Pogliaghi pista - many thanks for all those who inquired. The draw from the hat has found a new owner who Ive emailed and will advise the unlucky suitors as soon as I have confirmation from the buyer. Alas, only one bike and so many who wished to enjoy it.

Re: NOS Masi Prestige Pista - still without a home. To sweeten the deal I'll throw in a pair of NOS still in wrapper Nisi 36 hole Pista Special rims (you know, the super light silver shiny one's - see the Nisi CR page or e-me for pics). The frame/fork, nisi rims and ship/pack to your door for $1600usd.

Have fun.

ciao,
