coz i live close to montanovelo i get to see the nice pegoretti's in stock..all of it mostly super expensive ass road gear but its all super amazing. the frame quality, and paint jobs are super interesting, contemporary and drool inducing. so out of curiosity i looked up the site to see if they made a pista frame...and they do damnit, they do!


peep' em:















now if i only had a few thousand laying around to get one..the road frame/fork alone goes for 4k alone.

I think that Campy Pista wheelset is perfect.

sr20det

i can't find it on the site.
but from what I see its pure sex. yum.

kludge

uh once you get in under the english part go to the index finger of the left hand(your left) and then go to steel frames>_______ pista


yah i know right?

r-dub

that site doesn't suck hard.

sr20det

haha, good call!

dolface

hah! nice.

i hit that site a few weeks back and was so pissed off at it that i wrote them an email saying i refused to buy their products, 'cause if their freakin' website sucked that much, how was i supposed to trust their stuff?

sometimes i just have to let my whiny princess out for a bit

the really cool thing about pegoretti's is the fact that oversized tubing does not=alum. it can be steel!

I wish more production bikes could have triple plate fork crowns (or w/e the correct terminology for that is)

there are so many things wrong with that maroon bike. cheapo seatpost collar? not lugged? the seatstays / fork end / chainstay area is also really ugly. the white bike looks sooooo much better all around, plus lugged steel is always more hype than non. heck, the maroon bike could almost be a repainted steamroller...

That setup is really sweet.

kludge

i dunno dude. the maroon one has me jumping a bit. it looks like a better c'dale if anything. and its handmade in italy and custom fitted. and the lugged one althogh really nice sort of looks like every other vintage track bike on ebay imo. over all, i love everything this company does.

im pretty sure the pegorerttis arent making bikes for you to cruise to the bar on

muftek

i dont go to bars, but nice try.

pigmode

LOL, the Pegs are *not* hip.

sloppy robot

i was trying to politely say that was one of the stupidest critiques ive read on a bike on here.. but i guess it missed its mark

r-dub

If I'm going to drop 4k on a frame/fork it's damn well going to be a Sachs.

juvi-kyle

your are the best...I heart you.

jamey

goo!

muftek

oh no! how could i have so flagrantly misinterpreted your cunning and wit? the "bar" dig is was so clearly related to my thoughts on the bike, i'm baffled as to how i missed what you were trying to say!

long story short, the bike may ride great, but for $4000, you most certainly understand that aesthetics and design choices are relevant as well as the fact that the bike is custom made and fitted (which, of course, is nice). simply put, however, the white bike smokes the maroon bike in every way.

crushkilldstroy

watching people get pissed during arguments over aesthetic opinions will always be hilarious to me.

dude a: "that's ugly"
dude b: "lay off the pipe. what you like is ugly."
dude a: "well i think you're ugly."
dude b: "your mother."

sloppy robot

nice... see theres a good comeback and some explanation..i was just a little disappointed that "i dont go to bars" was all you had to give...you actually have me laughing now

youre right about 4k.. i wouldnt pay that much for a bike unless i just didnt care about money

Sin-A-Matic

Good god, where can I get my hands on the Campy Pista rims? They're beautiful and I would literally pay through the nose for them.
