A disc-brake Pegoretti for some is the same level of heresy as Dylan going electric!

The Hard Craft of Pegoretti
No bike builder we have ever worked with has the same effect upon its customers. Pegoretti is part puritanical artisan bicycle-builder and part bike-art cult. You may assume, given Pegoretti's close alliance with the art world, that the bikes spend most of their time hung up on a wall next to a Warhol or Monet. And you would assume wrong. Peg-Heads generally do huge mileages in the worst conditions possible - it is an unstated badge of honour in the Pegoretti community. Jules spends an afternoon at the hallowed halls of Pegoretti, with some of the most creative people in the cycling community.
Dario's creative partner, and head of production, Pietro, studies a Cyclefit client file. Nice T-shirt.
Ciavete is the licence a client gives the artisan to express themselves fully. Symbiosis.
We have learnt to meld our process with theirs!

Why wouldn't a brace of brake-calipers be art?
Every single process is executed by hand. It is the process and the training. It propagates pride and excellence

"The whole workshop emanates a sense of hard-craft"
The level frame-builders around the world aspire to. Pegoretti (and Richard Sachs) are the rightful godfathers of custom steel
