Pegoretti Mxxxxxo: 58

[IJWS]

looks great but such a good-looking bike deserves to have the rear brake closed and the chain on the big ring! Make it picture perfect so the rest of us can live vicariously!

Thanks all. So many paint options, but this one speaks to me. And, it was in stock.

I know. In my haste, things weren’t fully set. I was more worried about my toddler trying to climb it (which, he was attempting). Mea culpa.

I will do that at some point,

Will PM.

Can we make vinyl wraps of this paint scheme for other bikes!? Absolutely beautiful and very fitting.

I started going through the "maze" when I had it in the stand. I didn't get very far. I need a bunch more time to see if it truly is maze. Regardless, it's a schweet scheme.

If this paint were a classical tune, it would be a scherzo movement. Just like me.

As a complete non-artist, what blows me away is thinking about how Dario (or whomever painted this) came up with the paint colors for this scheme. I suspect the scheme might be easier and based on doodles or a vision they had....but the colors are so perfect, that it really requires a mastery of pigments and colors to know what works with what.

I respect the Ciavete paint as it's art in its own right, but to get paint this complimentary on such a complicated design is truly amazing.

Are there little sail boats, excuse me, schooners in there?

As often and regularly as I can….and stay married.

I stared at this for a long time with drool forming around my lips and running down my face. Well done!!

Thank you! I have really really really been enjoying this bike.


I put some alloy wheels on to switch things up from the WTOs (which are currently on the Love).

Got out for a sunny jaunt with a buddy and his BLE. The "cousins" always like to romp around together.

So when should we expect the official roll out on the Lavi/Clean youtube channel of your Old Peeps Peg rap?

[lavi]

A few changes. Swapped away from WTOs to alloy wheels (Campy Record hubs, natch) wrapped in Veloflex (first time use for me) and stainless cages.

A touch of more elegant brutishness.

Tires are 25s. Lol. I'm glad I bitched so much about wanting more clearance, Clarence.

[Kirk007]

These frames are made for 25s; specifically Veloflex arenburgs or whatever the rebranded equivalent is called.
