Pegoretti goes integrated with the Elio
Officina Dario Pegoretti took a big step last year in creating a new identity with the introduction of the Duende Rock & Roll, its first disc brake-only frameset and its first "all-terrain" model (with tire clearance up to 40 mm it's more all-road than gravel). Today, Pegoretti goes one further with the Elio, a fully modern steel race bike (named for employee Leonardo's son, not the recent Pixar movie).
What does fully modern mean? Full internal cable routing, for one, with a head tube and new fork compatible with Enve's In-Route system (cockpit options include Enve, Deda and Columbus, among others). Add a UDH dropout and clearance for 32 mm tires. Tubing is Columbus XCR stainless steel, with a tapered top tube and Pegoretti's largest-diameter down tube on any bike they've made (including the Big Leg Emma). Framesets start from €5,500 in a single color paint job, but all stock color schemes are available, as is the custom Ciaveté option, like the one shown in the image. [Pegoretti]
