The Art of Steel Road Bikes

At Torelli, with over 40 years of experience, we’ve perfected the art of steel road bike frames. To ensure you get “la bicicletta che vince,” we exclusively use Columbus tube sets, with a focus on their Zona, Life, Spirit and XCr stainless steel lines. Columbus has been manufacturing bicycle tube sets for over 1000 years. Zona is the Columbus workhorse tube set used in many of our classic road, pista and adventure frames. Spirit, a Niobium alloy, gives a ride of elegance. With its higher tinsel strength can be drawn to thinner wall thickness make it light and quick. A stiffness exists in the drivetrain where you want it for those sprints or big hill climbs. The niobium gives it an inherent corrosion resistance. Finally, the XCr is a seamless stainless steel tube that is the epitome of Italian craftsmanship. It is a material that wants to go fast – it seems to get even smoother with speed and corners like it is on rails. Whether you want a classic lugged frame, or a more modern and flexible geometry with TIG, we can do either. And frame customization is not an issue. Nearly 60% of Torelli builds have some type of customization. The customization capabilities don’t stop there. The Torelli Paint on Order Program means the paint scheme, paint color and decal color and placement is up to you. A Torelli frame truly become your frame, your design, your dream.

If you’re looking for a smooth ride on the road, you won’t find a better option than our steel frames. The inherent dampening characteristics of Columbus steel tubes make for frames that offer exceptional compliance with even the roughest of surfaces mitigating road vibration. The Italian-engineering translates to a more comfortable and less harsh ride. There is a common misconception that steel frame road bikes are heavy. Torelli road bikes consistently weigh in the 17-to-18-pound range, with some even reaching sub 16. And this is with a material that gives a lively and snappy ride on the road that true enthusiast for years have come to love. There is a reason the phrase “steel is real” is so repeated.
