Well, yeah....but more specifically. Yes, all three are great looking, lugged steel with a legendary heritage and are reported to ride great. But a lot of bikes have that!

So some specific questions:

Do any of the brands mean anything personal to you? For example, of those three I'd go for either the DeRosa or the Gios. Because in my "glory days" those were the bikes to have and I always wanted one (Actually I went for a Mercian in part because of this reason). Pegoretti means nothing to me personally. Not to say they're not great, just that the brand holds nothing for me in my heart.

How important is a custom frame to you? Have you looked at the "off the peg" specifications to see if any are close to what you're riding now? Fit is the most important thing.

Do you look at any of those frames and say "oh - I've GOT to have one of those!"?

Is a racing geometry frame really what you want? If not - there are a lot of beautiful randonneur, touring, etc. frames available.

In the same vein, is the tubing they all use (superlight, thin) appropriate for the riding you plan to do?

Do they all have the braze-ons you want?

Is money REALLY no object? The Pegoretti is 3x the price of the Gios and 2x the DeRosa. Personally I'd have to have a darn good reason to spend that sort of money. Likewise, it looks like you're looking at a production Pegoretti vs. a custom. You could get a killer custom and have money left over.

I'm sure we could come up with 100 questions, but that's the sort of question I'm talking about.
