Pegoretti Marcelo 2006

Technical specifications
Description
Some bikes are transport, some are tools, and a few are the reason you got into cycling in the first place. This is one of the few.
This Pegoretti Marcelo was ordered new in 2006 and built by Dario Pegoretti himself — not the workshop, the man. I've been its only owner for twenty years. With Dario's passing in 2018, pre-2019 frames have become genuine collector's pieces, and Dario-built examples in the UK are properly rare.
The paint is a one-off: a light blue and orange "GT40" scheme inspired by the Gulf Oil racing livery. It photographs well but it's better in person.
The frame is in excellent condition. Full disclosure: there's one small cosmetic nick on a rear seat stay, photographed close-up in the gallery. The tube is sound — it's a paint blemish on a twenty-year-old steel frame, nothing more. No dents, no cracks, no corrosion anywhere.
The build makes this more than a wall-hanger. A Campagnolo Chorus 11-speed groupset was fitted in 2018 and has covered less than 500 miles — the drivetrain is effectively new. Campagnolo Shamal wheels went on in 2015 and have done under 1,000 miles. Cassette is an 11-29, cranks are 172.5mm. This is a bike you can collect and ride hard, which was always rather Dario's point.
I'd consider selling the frameset separately for the right buyer — ask.
Collection welcome, professionally boxed courier shipping at cost. Happy to answer any questions or send more photos — this one deserves a good home.
