Pegoretti Marcelo BB Drop?

[bmeryman]

Anyone with a newer (from the last few years) Marcelo or MXXXXXO know the bb drop on it? Preferably in 52cm, but I'd be curious to know in 53 or 54 as well. Alternatively, if anyone can confirm that it's a 100% horizontal top tube I can find bb drop myself. I'm looking at the one listed on Above Category's website and I don't see either measurement listed. I had read in an older review that it's horizontal (and it still looks to be true), but just thought I'd check in here.

Thanks!

Pegs have horizontal top tubes. I think drop is 7cm.

[bmeryman]

Thank you, that's perfect! That's what I had calculated assuming a horizontal top tube.

In smaller sizes consider a Duende over Marcelo...My 52.5tt Duende was plenty stiff for this 5'7" 150ish rider.

That's really good to know, thank you. It's actually for a bicycle that I'm building myself, so I've got the luxury (or ordeal) of selecting my own tubes. I wanted to try out the Marcelo geometry, and with your input hopefully I can choose tubes that'll contribute to a reasonably stiff, lively bike.

I own a 2014 MXXXXXo and was wondering what the drop was, thanks!

BB drop is measured relative to the wheel axles. Just measure the distance from the ground to the centre of the axle and subtract the distance from the ground to the centre of the BB. Top tube slope is not a factor.
