Found the following review of a Bontrager Privateer and Pegoretti Pogostick (who knew?) while websurfing and dropped it into Babel Fish for your reading pleasure.

Enjoy!
We were a lot excites to you when we have received the two bicycles in every object, for which now we do not know like beginning the article. Two bicycles are not alone these, behind their weldings are philosophical concepts, history fascinating, memories of little years, nevertheless ago pertaining to geologic others ere. With Dario Pegoretti you can speak for hours and to discover incredible things, type that the first one "to pastrugnare" with the TIG (as it says) was a sure Stelio Make-ups in one bottega of Milan; with Keit Bontrager there would be piaciuto to speak for hours, in its even stretches igloo to the Bike Festival, but he is a much schivo personage and it is not easy to find it. Years ago, before that suspensions, inner Disc brakes and changes to the ship-boy stole the stage to the other innovations, godeva with the particular small and a Bontrager chassis, with pipages True Temper of various second series to of the points and handkerchiefs of I reinforce everywhere, even on the horizontal linings, guilty occasion for interminable arguments between the pure fanatics us. In these pages we have jewels in steel of two between more illuminates specialist craftsmen to you of this material; two various bicycles like formulation and also like philosophical choices. In common they have the fact that both constructors refuse the aluminum, are specializes to you in the working of the steel and have realized something in titanium. Bontrager Privateer Comp we cannot consider Keith a pioneer of the first hour, but of the first average hour and: the sacred tool has not invented he, insomma, but already in the years Eighty able ideas came it to influence the atmosphere in meaningful way. The composite staples, with the separabile slab from the steles, have anticipated those damped; the tightest saddleback from planned he for Saint Mark has become a classic; of sloping that is the strongly tilted horizontal tube to behind, it has been one of the propugnatori to the point of proporlo five years ago on the bici from road; of handkerchiefs (gusset) gič we have said; more in the shadow the full has remained with the splice of the wagon in glass fiber. Today Keith has followed the road already undertaken from nearly all the Great Pioneers, that is the cession of the own company to "major", in this Trek case, but its bicycles have not endured changes and are always daughters of the same philosophy. The Privateer belongs to the tradition of "front-fun", a field still of niche here from we: short interest (version M is on i 104cm), weights does not exasperate to you (is on the 11,5 kg), raised order and little adapted to the pulled ones with the rapportoni, sloping emphasized, reactive and elastic wagon (425mm), absorbent rubbers, guide much effective one in the technical reductions. You can ripassare the test of the Saint Cruz Chamelon published on the February number, a lot in order makes an idea you; this field, in Italy, is still totally ignored (to Turro part, that it has in catalogue a dual slalom), but is taking foot to the foreign country. In America who acquires to them does not compete, but the technique attempts where in routes predominates on the physical shape. Of various from the Race Argument (the classic rigid Bontrager from contest) this introduces little handkerchiefs (is shoots those to you on the linings, that they allow to save the ponticello and to collect therefore little mud), but is Bontrager in many other particular: the thin pipages, the monostay posterior, the graft of the oblique tube more up on the tube steering in order to remove the zone of the welding, the gusset on the tube abliquo and that horizontal knit you single on the flank of the tube, have where not subėto stress, some touch of great class like one "slice" of inner tube wrapped around to the collar reggisella for on measure to preservare the zone from the dirt; other characteristic, I use it of pipages True Temper (a brand always legacy to the constructor) with a little conificata round section and of the oblique linings, than, in the other Marches, of usual they introduce crushings. The cannotto of steering it is 1"1/8, while the ultraclassic Race Argument from cross country agonistico introduces the version from 1": this in order to favour R-al.meglio the employment of the front, less indispensable suspension on the version from cross country agonistico. Pegoretti Pogo Stick Dario has "bottega" to Verona and has been one of the first craftsmen, in Italy, to work with the weldings to the TIG, the great diameters, the Excell pipages. Motion works on behalf thirds party; in the European panorama it is a presence, at the same time, of large I enunciate (for what it knows to make) and of little reputation (because is timid: for this it has astonished the initiative to us of this winter that carried its bicycles in the points sale Mercedes). Some year it makes its bici, realized with Castagnino (high wizard, this time of the componentistica), called Airline, hour are returned to the name less esterofilo (was hour) of their creator. The visual impact is amazing: the tubes have diameters nearly from aluminum, the Headset are from 1"1/4, the staple have anch' it motorcycle dimensions. Null of the gazzella from cross-country vehicle with the thinnest tubes which it thinks endured when it is spoken about the steel. The second thing that it hits observing the Pogo Stick is the linings of the posterior wagon, also these like the Bontrager of round section, but completely you deprive of conifica and great diameter; they knit directly to the forcellino and it derives some with of exceptional rigidity like on the Lee Cougan in aluminum. But Dario knits therefore from years, not piacciono the conificati linings and forcellini the exiles, second he constitutes the ring weak person of the chain, here because it uses forcellini still more males of the Ritchey and the Breezer. In a plan to the standard of the rigidity (diameters of the oblique one of 38.1 millimeters, Headset from 1 "1/4, covered tube sterzo/tubo inflessibile obliquo/movimento centrale/foderi horizontal forcellini) astonishes not to find the classic at this point oblique megatube. "I balance for the more chassis from road and lė does not appeal to to me to bind together a Headset from 1 inch with a megatube, therefore prefers the round section, also in outside road. Here but the diameters are still advanced and then there are the suspensions, therefore is better to resort to 1 "1/4." Ovunque watches the chassis notices only great diameters and sections round, but not tasks to something of heavy: they come declares 1,5 chili to you.
