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

  • "Very very personalised service. You arrive, they expect you, greet you by first name, have checked your file from past visits and set out very clearly what the process will be, what issues they're looking to address and how and they are happy to take the time to walk you through everything in layman's terms. Almost any professional service entity could learn a lot from how Cyclefit works. "
