DARIO PEGORETTI

Pegoretti is a standout brand at Velosmith. Cast a gaze across the bikes on the studio walls and there are many common themes: disc brakes, hidden cables, sloping top tubes and larger volume tires. A Pegoretti stands alone, it’s classic lines and pure road ethos.

When you look at a Pegoretti, you see an effortless merger of art and engineering. Leonardo da Vinci would certainly approve of the work coming from the Pegoretti workshop in Verona, Italy.

It is easy to become distracted by the art that is a Pegoretti paint scheme. After all, they are all painted by hand, each slightly different from the last. But under the flow of colors, there is a mastery of craft. The welds so flawless you could almost over look them. The geometry of the frames appears classic and traditional, yet behind the facade lies a pure race bike, a bike that comes alive the faster you pedal and the harder you push it. A Pegoretti never met an apex it didn’t like.

But the paint and creativity is what many will mention when the topic of a Pegoretti comes up. Dario Pegoretti was an artist in the truest sense. Whether with a bush or a tig welder. Many of his painted works have become the basis for a range of their standard finishes. But there is nothing standard about a standard finish.

The ultimate expression is a Ciavete finish. The ultimate demonstration of trust in the builder and, also the greatest expression of the artist.

When your Pegoretti in Ciavete finish arrives, it will be a complete surprise. A one of a kind, just for you.

Fatti con le mani.
