I just bought an old frameset: http://ebay.com/<blah> e=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1 http://ebay.com/<blah me=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1> I am familiar with Torresini, Topado, and and the Italvega line, and frame checks out extremely close to '71 ItalVega Super Speciale with exception of the fork crown which appears to be a styled similar to a Bocoma/MilRemo item.

Does anyone know if the Capri brand came from the Torpado factory?
