Dario, any chance of EPS being an option on your frames?
the great paintjob is ALMOST forgotten once I ride it. This frame is incredible, Dario is a real genius: it is not easy to make a frame that makes you feel perfectly in control a with the right proportions, feeling this from the very first second you hop on the saddle.
I was really impressed with his ability to match what I wanted, and I only gave him my body measurements and told him the colors I don't like.

Just to make it clear, as there's people out there saying that Dario's frames aren't really precise
This is how the b.b. shell gets checked against the seat tube. The whole frame would go there. too; and there's a similar machine for the steel forks.

Those folks I said above, have done measurements with a carpenter's level... 'nuff said! :cheesy:
Jack (Skellington) says that the rear end is symmetric. On the road I found this to be very true :cool:

Even Jack (the dog) says that the welds aren't spiky at all. He is right, isn't he?

Caro Dario,
I am having trouble deciding if I should order a stainless steel or other high end tubing such as Max etc. I am pretty heavy 90kg, powerful and ride mostly moderate distances 40-60km on relatively flat roads.Occasionally on gravel roads as well. My style of riding is lower cadence 70-80 rpm.I also live in Florida and generally ride near the ocean .Thank you !
My two cents:
I bet you're a guy who takes good care of his things (and bikes, too) so the "corrosion" problem won't be a big deal.
As I'm born and lived for 29 years right by the sea, none of my bikes has ever had a problem because of this, and south of Italy is rather humid in summertime... :-\
If weight isn't an issue, have you considered the Big Leg Emma?
I am considering throwing some fenders on my fina estampa. Hope that does not offend any sensibilities but it will be winter in massachusetts before too long.
Any recommendations? Anyone else have a fendered Pegoretti?
Have a great weekend!
d
buon weekend.
another couple of shots
Dario: Awesome. Thanks for the reply and great weekend to you to. Gordon
Hi Dario,
I bought this frame in 2006 from Mosquito Bikes. Can you tell me anything about the paint? I have not seen another frame with this paint before or since.
Serial number is 2 R 3.
Any other info would be appreciated.
Thank you!
