i've not bought their bike nor have i seen one but i have bought their saddle and stem and wheels and so far they have all been good stuff and half the price of other component brands.

not saying pegoretti isn't well known, just not very common.

I wasn't conflake urinating. Just wondering why he/she wants to know, is it:
a. I'd love to have a high performance bike, but I don't want what everyone else has, or,
b. I don't have any of the big-name dealers in my town, what else should I be looking for?
Seemed like a fair follow-up to a question that had no context.
BTW, I guess it escaped your attention that I provided an answer in my signature line.
