You sold it to me, and I sold it back to you. I need an accountability partner for these things. No one on this forum would have permitted me to do such a thing.

In all fairness though, the headtube was ridiculous.

I’ve gone in a few times, I live on the east coast but had business in SF and North Bay. He has a collection of beautiful bikes in the shop, but every Peg I asked about, more than 5, was not for sale.

He has a pile of Baums

That article + cabin fever has me looking at my bikes and convincing myself to make unnecessary upgrades...

I’ve owned 2 Peg’s and have hated the head tubes on both of them.

You're not looking at the headtube when you're riding the thing, and they ride like a treat.

I'm stoked to see what they do with the Mosaic. The white + ti is a great combo.

Should have gone with 59 tt with a 140 stem and snipped the HT if necessary

The generous head tube length allows it to be cut to a preferred length. I did this on mine, and the result was a perfect length and aesthetic.

Really nice job. I read the same article and was surprised he fit Corsa Control 28s on a Marcelo. I have Corsa 25s on mine with SR 12 callipers and assumed anything wider is a no go. Anyone else tried 28s?

+1 .... I love to see painted Ti frames - these guys do a great job from what I’ve seen online - http://www.blackmagicpaint.com/moots-vamoots-disc-rsl-splatter

Yes, I effed that up... sigh. So it goes.

Lovely, I’m partial to black and white pegs myself.

To those pointing out the head tube, why? Pick the right size frame and ride it with a setback seatpost, slammed -17 stem, and classic bars. Make the master proud.

Shoulda coulda woulda - needs 1-2cm chopped off the head-tube, a -17 (or at least -12), reposition the head-badge, and it's good..

Hindsight.

[nobuseri]

No issues here. Headtube like that, slammed stems are compulsory. I stupidly sold my Responsorium a couple years ago, but have since managed to obtain a Love #3.

If I get a chance to own a 60+cm Marcelo or Respo, best be sure I will be on it.

Thanks for sharing the AC jnl piece.

Oh Lordy I am getting Pegregretti for you. [emoji853]All that needed was a Rotundo Pro, not looping off the signature head tube!

What's all this talk about tall headtubes on Pegoretti frames?

Now here's a tall headtube:

[bigbill]

I bought SoCalSteve's Big Leg Emma in late 06 or early 07. I was stationed in Hawaii at the time. I had a Fina Estampa at the time, it went to a good home. I rode it all over Sardinia and central mainland Italy. In 2014, the paint was coming off the downtube around the FD clamp. I cleaned it up and put a band of black paint around the tube and rode it for the rest of the year. I took it to Southwest Frameworks in Dallas where it got new paint and since Dave Cheakas is a frame builder as well, I got him to add an FD braze-on. The Reynolds Ouzo fork was painted to match. Still rode like a BLE, tall head tube, and all. Last year I noticed that the paint was cracked around the fork crown area. I went through Summer Cycles in Del Mar (Jerk) to get a Falz sent with a King race installed. So now the frame and fork don't match, but the Falz complements that frame.

It was originally built with Record 10 in 2007. I went to Record 11 in late 08 and was built with new Chorus 11 (four-arm) in 2016. The new stuff originally had a compact crankset and a small cassette. Hated it. Now it has a 36/52 and a 12-25. Like butter.

I have had some wonderful road bikes. Nothing rides nicer than my Mxxxxxo.
I know a lot of it is in my head. It might in part be my admiration for Dario as a man or his reputation as a frame builder. It is not the fastest nor the lightest, but it is the last bike I could part with. Maybe someday I will upgrade to the latest Campy gruppo or treat myself to Ceramic Speed and Clavicula.

Boy, I could make good use of that headtube.
