Brand New, Never Ridden, One-of-a-Kind Pegoretti Duende - A Masterpiece of Italian Cycling Art
Behold this breathtaking, one-of-a-kind Pegoretti Duende, resplendent in the captivating "Tazza" (S. Daria 2019) paint scheme. This isn't just a bicycle; it's a brand new, never-ridden work of art, a testament to the legendary craftsmanship of Pegoretti, as the pristine condition in the photos clearly attests. It's important to note that Pegoretti frames don't have model years; the frame itself remains consistent, while the paint scheme is what makes each one unique, valuable, and often irreplaceable. This "Tazza" scheme is a true head-turner.
The Duende is a beloved model in the Pegoretti lineup, renowned for its perfect balance of all-day comfort and exceptional performance. Crafted from Columbus ZONA tubing, the frame offers a slightly oversized yet classic aesthetic, thanks to its traditional tapering stays and conventional dropouts.
Pegoretti's legacy is one of artistry, passion, and innovation. Founded by the master frame builder Dario Pegoretti, the brand embodies a unique blend of art, music, and cutting-edge techniques. Even after Dario's passing in 2018, the workshop continues to uphold his vision, creating individual, honest products built with unwavering precision, quality, and timeless style.
