Those lugs....and paint job...wow. Good thing I'm way too tall (and second the too broke). Hope it finds a fabulous new home!

Gorgeous!

Luckily, it's too big for me and too small for my husband. Phew!

I don't know this bike, I don't know the OP, I'm just sayin' ... as a Mondonico rider I once got a chance to test ride Bikerz's Seven. Granted her bike is HER bike, made for her, and mine's mine made for me. But when two TE'ers in the range of five foot nothin' meet there may be some test rides. And a Seven I could not pass up the opportunity or pay her back if I dropped it.

Nice bike that Seven and granted not built for me. If it was MY Seven I know I'd be floored with the bike but testing it just made me looooove my Mondonico more. It's zippy, peppy, crisp, carves turns like a skier, but with all day comfort (4 AIDS rides under her tires) feels like an extension of me and the builder is retired sooooo

If you see one in your size and have the disposable income .... snap it up.

Thanks for all of the nice comments.

Since I'm not around here too often I thought I should introduce myself. My name is Conor Buescher and I'm co-owner of Vendetta Cycles which makes custom steel frames. We've been in business nearly 6 years.

I use the same userid (conorb) on Serotta and Velocipede Salon forums and while I'm not a prolific poster I am more well known there.

This is my personal bike and while it is wonderful and everything other folks have mentioned I'm just not riding it and I thought it could use a good home. I did sell my Steelman Cyclocross/Commuter bike here about a year or so ago.

I can provide different length stems and various handlebars along with womens specific saddles to help get the right person fit for this bike if needed.

Thanks,

Conor

Hi, conorb! The Torelli is gorgeous. Good luck selling it.

BTW you guys do some beautiful lug work.

Phew that's gorgeous! I even woke my husband up last night to show him. If i didn't already have a lovely Torelli of my own, I'd seriously consider that one. It actually looks like it might be close enough to my size. *sigh* I'm gonna tell myself it's too small.

But I'll pass on the word to friends who might be in the market!
