Pegoretti Marcelo Ciavete paint - low pro wheels Page 12

[mrfish]

You need the black sotto voce (IIRC) King headset.

I guess you are slowly hurrying to finish this off. I think the finished result will be worthwhile.

[tarz]

That paintwork is amazing! Enough said really....

Could we get a side on shot with your low profile rime and lightweights...

[dcj9]

tarz - i can set up that shot now with the build only half finished. later it won't be possible as the bikes will be in different countries when the peg is finished off. let me know ok?

[tarz]

Haha ofcourse

It will be something special when it is finished!

[dcj9]

Pegoretti never fails to impress me! I'm digging the "vintage" LWs

[tarz]

Bravo! Bravo!

Absolutely amazing build, I personally think it's fantastic!

[record]

OMG I'm speechless

[lcoolb]

All a matter of personal preference, i guess. Still don't like the paintwork at all and LWs? On a frame like that?

[Roobay]

Schweeeeet ride well worth the wait
It's going to be a pegoretti week as mine is nearly done
Let us know how it rides

[musket]

It's gorgeous, truly. Even still - there are some details grating on me. The platinum King headset is just plain wrong - it needs a black one, and the brake and shift cables have been cut way too long. Not the housing, but the cables themselves.

I love the paintwork.

[rajMAN]

Fantastic worth the wait, beautiful build.

[prendrefeu]

Wonderful, thank you, and happy riding.

[majklnajt]

Although, arione and no-setback seatpost will never be my choice..... LOVE it all the way!!!

[Powerful Pete]

Bellissima. And good weight for a classic frame!

Absolutely fantastic build. Looking forward to a full ride report.
