Superlative photo and build. The LBs had one of the best paint schemes of the alt-cycling era.

Thank you! And I agree. Alas, I've been given a carbon disc gravel bike by my father and, living in NYC, I don't have space for both, so this will be hitting Craigslist soon.

A Responsorium is close to perfection, for sure.

Took these after I swapped out the 7400 setup.

Apologies, not the photographer that many are here.

Yes, the Pentagla decal is in the wrong location. Didn't think to mention when I dropped it off for repaint.

Rim brakes and Peter Chisholm wheels...

I see another fellow above posted a rim brake classic also with Paul Mini Motos. I bought this custom-geo Gunnar last year directly from Waterford. It's officially a Crosshairs, officially a gravel bike, but actually a bike I would ride nearly anywhere. In fact, if I could keep only one bike out of my dozen-plus bikes, this might be my first choice (or my second choice).

Oh yeah, the Mini Motos are - like the fellow also mentioned above - the best, most powerful rim brakes I've ever ridden.

For more pix of this Gunnar, the Paceline image gallery has them.

That Gunnar is great.

Orange steel drop bar bikes FTW! That combo always just works.

One thing I genuinely like about Pegoretti bikes is the mix of creative and vibrant paint alongside subtle branding.
The lack of logos plus eye catching paint allows the design to be featured.

Have to agree there...

And yes, Mini Motos are worth the price of admission. IMO
