>From the decals and the 2nd or 3rd tier Campy components, I'd say this is a decidedly lower model Torpado, probably late 60's or early 70's. In my opinion this bike is maybe only a little more collectible than a Peugeot UO-8. As I have too many bikes already, I probably wouldn't buy this at any price, certainly not $399. As to $1500, I wonder what this guy was smoking.

It's been listed at least three more times since then. Anyone on the list know anything about this bike or this model? The photos aren't very good and the seller doesn't have much of a feedback history, at least positive feedback. Fred Durrette Summerville, South Carolina
