Bike porn

Anyone know what bars are on the Pegoretti?

It's 3T with decals removed .. same on stem and post in that pic.

What are you doing in that shed, if you don't mind me asking?

Not an awful lot till it's finished.

You may skip to the end if the thread's a bit too long :-)

Yes yes - logo's ahoy (and do pinarellos actually count as porn?), but I saw one in Aberdeen, in the snow on sunday! The only difference was the wheels - carbon clinchers of some type (full record eps though). Seemingly the guy riding it was a legendary old 1st cat racer. In the flesh it was really f***ing nice!

Rob who never stops talking from Hounslow and District Wheelers has one of these, plus full matching team kit to go with it. He is about as brash as the bike so they work well together.

^^Wow!

Rep Plus!

It's an OTP from Evans that's been souped up.

Worst of all worlds - crappy modern frame with crappy old components. Exactly the wrong way round if you want to combine the best from the past with the best from the present.

call it nostalgia???

It's such a poor replica it'll just ride like a Charge Plug. It's pointless.

Just curious how you formulated that conclusion,

1st hand experience or internet natter?

either way can't someone love something purely based on aesthetics?

no Beef im Vegetarian... Sometimes

"Can't someone love something purely based on aesthetics?"

Well of course. No need to justify why you like a particular bike either, but the fact that you like it, for whatever reason, doesn't necessarily make it a porn star... ;-)

It's a pastiche, a low-end modern frame made more pointless with old components.

Put bluntly, its shit.

If you don't know much about bikes and therefore made value judgements based mainly on looks then I can see why you might like it.

You probably like the New Beetle, also.

Movistar kit?

A whopper I went to school with just posted his new Pinarello Prince on Facebook. Money > taste.

^^ That is ace! Love the super stealth logos!

So stealth I can't read the branding on the downtube.

(Could be masked by piss stains)

Alchemy Arion says the image.

Ta.

Was about to ask what brand it was.

Its a custom Alchemy. The decals can only be seen in certian light I guess. So hard to photo.

*Read Wow! Someone send that bike my way, I'll sort it out and give it a good home.

And headset maybe... but now I'm being pedantic.
