Torelli Countach

   

"The ride quality is just super---a timeless blend of solidity and suppleness that speaks of generations of tubing evolution and time-honored construction....This is a pro-quality bike, one you could keep and race for years"
---Bicyclist Magazine

 

The Torelli Countach is the least expensive Torelli frameset that offers truly professional performance. At this level of frame material and design, a rider is fully competitive. Hand-built in a small shop, the Countach already employs third - generation improvements over our first oversized tubing Countach.

In years past, the Countach has been built entirely of Columbus SL tubing, the Brain Oversize, and in 2000, Zona. Recent developments have allowed Torelli to dramatically improve the performance of the Countach without changing the price.

Materials:

  • The Countach is made of a proprietary tubeset called "Torelli/Nemo 747". The three main tubes are Nivachrome, drawn oversize, with a 0.4mm wall and differentially butted. Please look here for a complete explanation of "747" tubing. We believe it to be a remarkable advance, offering state-of-the-art tubing for an exceptionally low price.
  • The fork crown and bottom bracket shell are lost-wax (investment-cast).

 

  • Steel Fork Specifications
    The fork crown is a Walter Pavesi cast crown that initially looks like a unicrown. At Torelli, we do not use welded unicrown forks because of the harsh ride they give. The Pavesi crown gives extra support to the fork blades, allowing a lighter fork blade to be used. The result is a stable fork that corners well, yet is lightweight. The Pavesi crown also gives a lively, comfortable ride, despite its formidable appearance.

    Carbon Fork Options

    Torelli stocks two brands of carbon forks for the Countach. Torelli Aspect (Aspect with alloy steerer and Aspect SL with carbon steerer) and Reynolds (Comp and Ouzo Pro) .
