Pegoretti Love #3, Above Category style

This beautiful Pegoretti Love #3 belongs to Jun H. of San Francisco. What I loved about this build most of all was the thought that went into every last piece of the bike. The final decision was the wheels. The bike has actually been ridden for a while until we made the choice. In the end it had to be the Fulcrum Racing Light tubulars, sans decals. Outstanding choice, as much for how well they perform, but also how they are a perfect match on this bike. Also, for all of you who are wondering, this is the 'Baci' paint scheme that came on the Marcelo a year or so back, but we had done on this Love... Enjoy the photos below...



The Fulcrum Racing Lights without decals. Even the valve stem is red! That was more by accident though, the Vittoria 320tpi tubulars are one of our favorites. Campagnolo Record 11spd, FSA SRM, King ti cages and Look Keo ti pedals...



The little touches; red aluminum water bottle cage bolts...



You don't see this too much anymore, the spare tubular tucked under the saddle w/ a toe clip strap. Even the Chorus seatpost took some thought. The only difference between the Chorus and Record post is that the Record has a carbon top clamp. Selle San Marco Aspide saddle, carbon rails, good padding, super light at 118g. Nice combination...



3t Rotundo Team bar and stem. The bar is carbon, the stem aluminum w/ ti hardware. Please do not discount the classic shape handlebar, when you get the fit of the bike right, it's one of the best shapes out there...



MASSIVE chainstays! Despite how stiff it looks, this is a quite comfortable bike, but rest assured, it will propel you forward w/ zero wasted energy! Dario knows how to build 'em...



Another view...



Always makes us sad to see these bikes get picked up, but we know this one is in good hands! Thanks for reading...
