Dear List: The Torelli Company has always been a good friend to the vintage community, as well has making some excellent KOF frames over the years. I just recently stumbled onto some historical interviews on an associated web site, http://www.bikeraceinfo.com. In particular, I recommend the Franco Bitossi interview, to read about Jan Janssen's 66 TDF win, the time Tommy Simpson bled all over him and about Marino Basso stealing Bitossi's Rainbow Jersey at Gap in '72 (Franco laughs about it now). The only thing I missed was how Bitossi just lost to Merckx in the 74 Giro. No, wait, I see that was actually Baronchelli. Well, it's still great stuff, and thanks for Torelli for making this stuff available. My apologies if this has already been outed.
