So here it is, the new Pegoretti direct from Northern Italy. Dario really is the man when it comes to building extremely cool frames. The build is all Super Record with Record hubs and seatpost. The spokes are DT aerolite finished in white and the rims are DT465, nipples are gold just like the Chris King headset. I've got some new white Speedplay pedals which should be pretty sweet and I've seen that heaps of pros are on them so they must be good.
Jono helped me build this bike and I think that together we did a fantastic job. The Deda bars are some of the most comfy bars going around and I now have a 130mm stem on it which is fairly pro of me. The bike has already done all the big climbs around Bright like Buffalo and Hotham and it climbed and descended beautifully.
The bike has an epically big headtube so if you ever buy a Pegoretti, forget about buying $15 Chris King headset spacers, they are obsolete unless you get one of those awesome Kennedy fits on your bike.
The bike has one flaw however, the paint is really fragile. It chips quite easily on the chainstay and it is like a small piece of my soul disappears everytime a see a chip. So, it shall be stripped shortly and clear coated. No biggie though.
Most importantly though, this bike is about as cool as you could get. I have already had heaps of comments on it down at various cafes and on some of those slow bunch rides I've been kicking around on. Next move, shaving my legs.
