These days Dario is better known for his steel bikes, which are widely regarded as the finest welded steel bikes available anywhere. Despite the close association with steel, Dario also has a long history of producing aluminum race bikes. The Love #3 is Pegoretti's current incarnation of the aluminum race frame and it's an all-too-often overlooked option from the Italian master.
This is the most recent Pegoretti build we've built up. It features a 52cm Love #3 frame with the Manovella paint scheme. This bike has a Serotta S3 fork, which is atypical for Pegoretti but works well with this particular build. The parts kit is Campagnolo Record 11 all around. The cockpit is composed of Deda's super stiff 35mm alloy bar and stem, which match the race pedigree of the Love #3. The seatpost is the Superzero carbon also from Deda, atop which sits Selle Italia's new SLR Superflow saddle. Wheels on this build are a custom race tubular from Luxe Wheelworks.
