"Pegoretti is the most famous Italian frame builder you've never heard of. He dates his life with bikes back to 1975, when, at 18 years old and racing a Mario Confente frame (yes, an American bike; Dario's always been a maverick), he began his frame building apprenticeship with Luigino Milani, in Verona. Milani's workshop was the nerve centre for Italian racing bikes at the time, turning out half the bikes in the peloton every year. The Milani archives are a roll call of the great names of the era. Leaf through and you'll find the frame blueprints for Chiappucci, Fondriest, Tafi, Cipollini, Ghirotto, Battaglin, Roche, Indurain, and so many more. Milani's shop built those frames under contract, always with someone else's name on the down tube. In the small world of Italian frame building, that's normal: When your backed up with orders from paying customers and the team you've just signed suddenly needs a slew of custom frames, you call your buddy, the guy you grew up with, that you used to race with, maybe used to build frames with, and ask him to help out. Milani handled the thankless job of creating perfect bespoke racing frames on crushing deadlines until his death in 1990. Pegoretti continued in Milani's shop until 1999, and then moved to his own digs. He's set up now in Caldonazzo, near Trento, in a one-room workshop where he builds about 1,000 frames a year (his brother, Gianni, handles the administrative end). They're modern designs, welded steel or aluminium, with an understated elegance that is uncommon" (Velonews December 17th 2001). more info >> Pegoretti's official website |

Marcelo |
|
• Columbus Spirit tubing The best compromise between rigidity and comfort. It is constructed from Columbus Spirit tubes and has an extraordinary brilliance when ridden. It has the capacity to cope with absorbing road vibration and has masses of rear stay rigidity in the rear triangle. A pure racing frame. Buyers will be able to savour a new scheme, "Wow". |

Duende |
|
|
• Dedacciai SAT 14.5 tubing A mix of the Marcelo and the Palosanto. From the former it has the main triangle and from the latter it has the rear triangle, but is constructed around a set of 18MCDV6 HT tubes. Beautifully balanced for all situations. Pegoretti presents a stunning new paintjob, "Blop". |

Big Leg Emma |
|
• Columbus Niobium Spirit tubing The latest Pegoretti steel frame, the downtube is laser cut to expose several small grooves. After these grooves are reinforced with brazed horizontal anti-flex plates, ornamental shapes are created over the laser-cut incisions. A beautiful yet functional design. Ultra massive chainstays complete the picture. "Somebody" is the new scheme available. |

Luigino & Luigino Ahead |
|
• Heat-treated tubeset Why the Luigino? We thought that this new frame should be built as a tribute to the Italian school of frame builders of the '70s & '80s. After much searching we have found certain original parts that were used in this period and the dropouts, fork tips and cable guides are all original Campagnolo parts. The lugs used on the frame are hand filed to our design before building and we have decided to use a modern Heat Treated tubeset for this frame. This is not a nostalgic frame building exercise, but a frame built to show the value of the high quality workmanship at that time; a level that has generally now been lost. |
|
|
We have adjusted the diameters of the main tubes, no longer the classic 25.4/28.6/28.6. This is because road surfaces are now better and smoother and also it will offer better performance. The result is a frame of extraordinary comfort and handling. This is also thanks to the unsurpassable responsiveness of the flat crown forks. All these elements together make a high performance and reactive frame. The end result is a frame that is almost an exact copy of frames built in the past and to the same high standards of those years which were so very creative. We have called it Luigino as a tribute to Luigino Milani, one of the greatest frame builders of that era. |
