Yeah, either way the Pegorettis are very nice. Out of my pricing right now, however. BTW, there is a nice looking used one on eBay right now:

I just finished building a custom Co-Motion Cascadia. I was a little surprised that all up it wound up over 25 pounds all up. It is a touring bike, so heavier, but I also have plans to use it as my 200k bike. I tried to have one good do it all bike and of course wound up with compromises doing it.
