Pegoretti Duende Rim Frameset, 'Mezzatazza'

If you’re seeking a classic road racing bicycle that does everything well, an accomplished, elegant performer designed for sublime all-day rides, the Pegoretti Duende deserves your full attention. As with all Pegoretti frames, the Duende is handmade and hand-painted in Verona, Italy, at the brand’s ‘Bottega’. The steel tubing – Columbus ZONA – blends a slight oversize aesthetic with traditional, tapering rear stays for the perfect meeting of modern and classic. Choose from standard sizing, or opt for a custom geometry. And as for paint, Pegoretti presents a wealth of options, from geometric patterns to abstract art rendered in the brand’s signature ‘Ciavete’ style.
