How did I miss this?...obviously not reading the right roadie news feeds:

Sad news...I knew he had been living with cancer since 2007, but always a shock when you hear that the end has finally come:

Re:

yeah, sad - probably the best steel frames out there.

Sadly, I don't own one, but would be good to have a "show us your Pegoretti" thread or may be a pegoretti BOTM comp?

Re:

There's a good video on Vimeo about him. I hadn't heard of him before (not been into road bikes very long!) but he seemed a great character and the frames look spectacular.
