I come completely unglued watching this film. I am not sure why. When he mentions chemo, I lose it.

Nice watch. Its interesting something like bicycle sport can be artistic, and yield depth and character. This always seem evident in old films like the impossible hour or stars and watercarriers. Don't really get too see stuff like that anymore.

This is very interesting. Could you elaborate?

I understand how some people wouldn't want to work with a boss who Quote: "...doesn't explain anything, you learn by watching." It is my experience that much more is learned from such people than from those who try really hard to put everything into words.

Saying something, anything near or around any European cycling fan regarding a hero is cause for a fight. I have a friend in Cicily. I have asked him about bikes made in northern Italy and he pretends not to hear me.

There is a certain odor to steel, grinding, cutting, handling the material. He's right. I'm not talking about the the and feel a steel bike, but the smells of a working metal shop. I love it.

I've been on the hunt for a Pegoretti for awhile now, the aluminium ones come up quite often but I want one of his steel frames.

There were a couple of Pinarellos that were designed by Pegoretti, does anyone recall which models they were?

I liked the Pegoretti video, and the one about the kid that finds the bike (Sean Kelly tribute?).
