I was looking for good examples of Pegoretti bikes when I came across your article.<br />Glad to see you finally got one, I remember you mentioning you wanted one when we were out on a ride around the Peak. <br />Glad to see you well and that you are still at a good racing weight, and that sun tan hasn't faded.<br />I'm living in New Zealand now, with the bad road surface I was looking for something in steel. It's a fantastic looking bike, flick me an email with some close ups and let me know how it rides.<br />Regards<br />Andy PattersonAndrew Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05210680424616280003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172202953319134786.post-13255414560578435212010-08-24T16:32:32.797-07:002010-08-24T16:32:32.797-07:00Great travelogue!

What a great time meeting the Master and his daughter. I did not have enough $ to buy a frame beacuse I was backpacking through Europe. Today,I am eagerly awaiting my custom steel frame from Italy! it is a special order and I shall fit it with a campy centaur grouppo.<br />Cheers!<br />RonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172202953319134786.post-41264482892221691622010-08-24T07:45:40.470-07:002010-08-24T07:45:40.470-07:00thanks for the post, enjoyed it very much.

I think there's an Italian "hospitality gene" -- they just can't send someone away because they're busy, whether it's making bicycles or running a vineyard. We agree totally with the measuring comments, our friend Antonio Mondonico was the same way---a few simple and quick measurements, a question or two and somehow, as if by magic, you end up with a bike that fits and rides perfectly! It's the same here in the US as UK, lots of fitting "experts" with all kinds of measuring contraptions, but all kinds of ill-fitting custom bicycles are way too often the result.Larry and Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16346445393389942837noreply@blogger.com
