The Torelli Tipo Uno: The fixed gear bike has returned to its roots.
|
||||
A look at the geometry chart at the bottom of this page will show that the Tipo Uno has a relaxed track geometry, making it suitable for the road. Our retro-panel paint, non-obtrusive decal design and leather accessories recall another time when all the world was bike-mad and the urban speed demons, called "Scorchers", were riders on fixed-gear bikes. But make no mistake, The frame and parts that make up the Tipo Uno are pure 2008.
We also have a line of Tipo Uno fixed-gear bike accessories
