This is a project I'll be working on for a little while yet. This is my personal bike, a Pegoretti Love #3, in fact the first bike I ever bought from Dario almost 5 years ago. I've had this built up before, which you can read about here. When this article was written our goal was to build the best race bike we could imagine and felt we did just that. Now, I am going to do that again, but even more importantly, make it look the part! We'll see what happens. Stay tuned for that, but it is going to involve some Super Record and a paint booth...
F'ing fantastic! Turned out absolutely perfect, thank you JT (Spectrum)!
Out of the bubble wrap. There is still something very special about the handbuilt bicycle. So many ways to personalize it, and being a Pegoretti, there is no doubt that you will not lose one degree of performance to any other bike on the road and in fact will come ahead of most if not all...
Perfect job matching the not quite white paint...
Details
I think Dario calls this paint scheme 'Franz' now. Whatever it is, it's awesome and can be great in almost any color combination...
3T ARX Team stem, and as you can see, 110mm/-17. I've shrunk or something as last time I rode this bike I was using a 120mm stem w/ Deda deep drop bars which are not short. Oh well, compact is good...
