I got a very neglected 1984? Torpado Nuovo Sprint nearly 3 years ago. It was cheap as it had a stuck seatpost that the flipper owner was able to remove but with damage to the seatpost. I believe it is all original right down to the reflectors and even the tires. It’s even my size.











It had been stored poorly in an outdoor shed. The guy I bought it from was a small town bike flipper guy, and this wasn’t his area of expertise. With the Aelle tubing, this isn’t a prize, so it has been sitting in my possession for awhile. With winter dragging on, I was looking for a project. It will need touch up paint and lots of elbow grease. I doubt it has been ridden for a very long time as in decades. The original tires even have nearly all of their tread. I think this one was ridden a bit for 5-10 years and then put away. This one will be too sporty for me, but it looks like an interesting project. I do need to find a Regina freewheel tool. I think my local co-op may have one. 20mm tires aren’t my thing, but perhaps a fun project and maybe sell it for cheap then.
