56cm Pegoretti Duende frame set $1300+shipping

[anomaly]

The frame was built in 2009 and has a one off paint scheme called Lori. I purchased the frameset new from Above Category and have ridden it extensively since then. It is really really great but it is time to pass it on. If you are looking for a pristine bike, look elsewhere. There is damage to the paint in a number of different areas but the frame is in good shape. In addition to the frame you get a ENVE 2.0 fork, which is cut to the height of a 3T ARX stem, and a Chris King headset. I will also include a shim to run a 27.2 seat post and seat post collar if you want them.

When new:
Gitabike - Pegoretti

Now:


Damage to the chain stay


Damage under the top tube


There are some other much smaller paint chips and scratches as well but they won't bother you if the bigger ones are acceptable.

FWIW IMHO the one-off paint trumps the chips

$hit happens and getting a lust-worthy frame pre-chipped better than new std paint at full pop - plus, the existing chips completely neutralize the inevitable that will happen on your watch.

Just to say the size / geo would be handy to know (not for me, just saying - lovely paint though).

Is that seat tube measurement center to center?

56.5 C-C square with a 17cm HT. The HT can be cutdown by 1-1.5 CM.

Price drop $1100+ shipping, firm.

anomaly,
This is a fine ride. I wonder if you could post photo(s) in better lighting of downtube, headtube. I would love to see details of the paint scheme without the flash or shadows. I am seriously interested in this.
Thanks,

I have several high end steel bikes and my "spirit" tubed Carl Strong is my favorite. Dario + Columbus Spirt could only produce a great ride......

[ashwa64]

better light?! buy the fucking thing for 1100 bucks. this is an exceptional frame that appears to just be hitting it's stride. few nicks here and there, but whatever.

i'd have gotten it if i didn't have too many bikes already...

[ebesonwheels]

ashwaganda,
If I wanted YOUR fucking opinion, I would have asked you AZZHAT. If I am going to buy a handmade frame it is common sense to ask for more photos (I have two pego's already and race them both so I know exceptional frames and I don't care about the blemishes). LMIADH

[ashwa64]

ok dude -- enjoy the pics and don't take shit so seriously...

Ebesonwheels,

While I can appreciate the gist of your feelings, your crude language in a second post is not welcome. Leave the hostility somewhere else, please.

Keep it smilin' here, man.

You too, Ashwa.

Too much caffeine around here, or what?

I get the feeling the two of them might know each other. I hope so for their sakes.

looks like a fantastic deal. This thread also drives home my theory that booze, rather than espresso, should be consumed before posting in internet forums.
