It is very comfortable for all-day riding by virtue of being extremely light tubing. The frame weighs 1620g which is pretty good for a 57 steel.
I'm not trying to break any records, our group rides only steel and Ti and spends more time than most admiring our bikes whilst drinking coffee between hills. Suits my needs perfectly. The older Campy shifts like butter.
For the '93 and '94 season pro bikes Dario used Excell tubing, which he preferred, instead of Oria which were the team sponsors.

Very interesting, how did you manage to find out that Pegoretti made the Telekom frame?
I own one of Olaf Ludwig’s rigs from either the ‘94 or ‘95 season and it has no tubing stickers on it anywhere….
