Has Torelli Quietly Gone Out of Business?
Hello folks,
I noticed that the Torelli website isn't working, and that there have been no posts made on their Facebook page since late in 2021. Does anyone know if they're still in business or what? I can't find any relevant news via my brief morning internet search...

Hey--their dealer page is blank, so you never know. I'd just email them, personally.
But man--the prices! You might have to spend $3,000 or over for a lugged steel frame!

Yes, indeed, and that's what keeps the art alive! However, now that I can see the website and the frame prices and options, I know that I would rather lean towards a number of other options on the market... A Tommasini Sintesi, Cinelli Supercorsa, or Mercian Vincitore are three excellent modern steel frames with rich heritage that I have my eyes on. I had thought to consider Torelli again because I used to wander into one of the dealer's shops and see the frames and long for them when I was younger, but the prices don't seem so competitive any more.
But I do recommend the Cinelli Supercoarsa.
