Pegoretti Duende Rock & Roll
Just found the below picture on the Pegoretti Fans & Owners group on Facebook. Does anyone have any insights?
I will go ahead and guess that this will be a Duende CX with disc brakes. |

I first thought it was for a spaghetti dinner.

I'm not aware of a Duende disc, only Round and Responsorium have this option. I wonder which fork they would choose...

Well, you could instead go down under, visit Baum, and spend a $$$$load of cash. I know which one I'd choose.

It came with a Sintema Mud carbon fork that I swapped for an Enve later on. I picked it up in NYC during a heat wave and rode my first D2R2 on it that weekend. The bike was excellent! My bet is the Duende gets discs and a more endurance/gravel geometry. The CX I had was a CX bike with a high BB and race like feel to it. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk |

Announced! Interesting choice to move ahead with their own Fork |

Ugh. I find that fork very ugly. Not a fan of the old school cross geo either. Hard pass on this one.

That fork looks like something designed while doing 'my first 3d model' online course, just the most basic shapes and cutouts.

Not sure how I feel about the fork, but a stainless disc Pegoretti CX/Gravel bike is cool in my book. I did my first D2R2 on a Duende CX and it was a phenomenal bike with surgical precision on those dirt and gravel roads.
I recall descending at a high rate of speed on mine and realizing a bit late that I was headed for the Green River when I banked an extremely hard left to try and evade it. The Duende CX did it without even breaking traction! I am sure this will be an amazing riding bicycle! Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk |

Yeah I don’t know if love the 6cm BB drop - definitely more of a traditional CX geometry in stock form:
https://freight.cargo.site/m/J163920...-DUENDE-RR.pdf They do offer custom geo, though, so I’m sure it’s something you could address with them in an order. I bet it’s pretty fun to ride though. I’d be worried about destroying the paint job personally. |

I understand that designing a fork that looks good is a challenge, but I think they would have been better off just going with a Ritchey fork over this.
