Pegoretti Duende - Italian Gravel - La Dolce Bicicletta

As one would expect, Pegoretti circumnavigate the gravel genre with on their own artisinal terms. If Federico Fellini rode gravel it would almost certainly be aboard a Pegoretti Duende. Pegoretti always take the beautiful road but never the easy one. The Duende has been developed with a proprietary Columbus XCR stainless-steel tubeset and carbon Piron (pitchfork) fork. Matt's bike is a stunning jewel imbued with skill and flair from another era.

What our clients say

  • "I tried the shorter cranks today and I like them - it feels like it's less stress for the back and it seems easier to ride higher cadence. In the end I had a good Tour with no back problems. Thanks for your help!"

    Bauke Mollema

  • "A great service, full of personal touches as well as the "harder" scientific analysis of my position on the bike, which was also excellent. I feel more planted on the bike now, and came away with some really useful feedback from the session."

    Ed H

    London Dynamo Rider

  • "Rode my standard Box Hill loop this morning with the temp shims and more thought to position. Felt more connected and compact on the bike. Fastest ride of the year, picked up close to a km/per hour despite crappy wet pot holed roads, a ton of traffic and a couple of nights out Thu/Fri."
