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 very thorough, professional and personal service. I was keen to analyse my bike position after breaking my hip. The custom footbeds and alterations to my position feel really good, just wish I’d come sooner! Many thanks"

    TD

    Endurance MTB rider

  • "A highly personalized and very friendly service, giving good advice and adjustments that are helpful whatever level of cyclist you are."

    MJ

    Cyclist

  • "The personal service from both Phil and Julian is second to none. They have such a wealth of experience in fitting that they can almost tell at a glance if something is just a little off. It felt as though it didn't matter how long it took to get the best position possible - even for an amateur cyclist like myself. Can't recommend them enough."

    Susan

    Cyclist

  • "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."
