Does anyone know if the Torpado CEO Torresini referred to in the Steven's Italian Bicycle History book was associated with the Torresini that built Ben Lawee's Italvega frames? It would be interesting to compare Torpado and Italvega frames for similarities in construction and geometries. I can't make the comparison because my Torpado is quite a bit older than my Italvegas.

While I'm speculating, I wonder if the Torresini shop also built the Bertonis for Lawee.
