Lots of posts.About the Torpado I posted about on?BritEbay#350181727414. I have done a lot of business with Alex, a?First rate Brit?dealer. BUT the ON E thing I was?MOPE interested in, is his statement, "Italian National Champ
   600 wins" Who was this?? maybe Aldo would?have? info about? Also If this i s correct, would not the bike he rode??an?"Italian Champion"?be the best av ailable? To me this frames worth is NOT in what it is, BUT who rode it!?? E ddie I would think that?YOU would be VERY interested in this. with the coll ection that you have and the HISTORIES attached.?This to me is the mark of a TRUE collector.? By the way I have traded. with a fellow member (THANKS J OHN)?my 54 Hetch MagOpus, for a frame,a J.A.Holland.made in West Bromwich U K.?that to me has far more worth as a collector, was made by a mate and fel low club (Solihull CC) member. Is this NOT what we are all interested in, t rue?sentimental collector?value, THIS?way exceeds monetary value,at least?i n MY mind? "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" or some such! Cheers Joh n Crump OldtryingtobeoneBrit, Parker Co USA? PS Lets hear some feedback on this to me a VERY important topic!
