If you don't like the paint on a Pegoretti, then I cant imagine why you'd buy one... thats part of the charm. I think he's f'ing brilliant. Paint aside... its a bike frame/design built under the eye of someone with tons/decades of experience that just 'gets it'.

They are your typ. Italian road bike with a breath of fresh air, IMO. Just not your 1970's lugged frames. Don't get wrong, I am all about ride quality with latest and the greatest technological innovations. Personally, I am just not into the the wild paint scheme. As far as paint is concern, I could care less if its white, red or black. I actually like it when high end frames just (usually the builder only built one type) come in one color, like Gios blue, or Bianchi's Celeste. My last Torelli was pulled off the shelf at my local bike shop because it was my size. I paid for it and took it home. it just happened to be white. Any other would have been fine.
