The subtlety of speed is a question most riders have mulled over. Why one day the legs spin like the blazes, and you can climb higher than a steeple. When the rhythm of the road is as familiar as the beat of your heart and the back of your hands on the hoods. Love #3 is a day like that, distilled. So fast it might feel frantic, but that’s the idea. And now it’s better equipped than ever, reimagined in a silhouette that combines the sprint spirit so many riders find beguiling with features like internal routing, disc brakes, and feel that keeps you in close contact with the road, but never rattled by it.
Made by hand in Verona from signature oversized aluminium, Love #3 is equal parts aggressive and sweet. A punk rocker with good manners. At its best on short, fast rides and devastating in a crit, Love #3 is a road bike that demands you keep up.
Like our other recent road bike releases, such as Elio and Marcelo Interno, Love #3 is electronic-only, with internal cable routing and shared head tube dimensions, so it takes the same integrated cockpits. A BSA bottom bracket, a 31.6mm seat post, and a new Pegoretti carbon fork, the P32, with clearance for 32mm tyres complete the spec.
The differences between aluminium and steel are myriad. And we’ll get to a journal post about that soon, but in the here and now, the main difference to note if you’re new to aluminium and the Love #3 is that it's around 25% lighter than our disc stainless steel models, which is one of the reasons it’s so quick off the mark. Yet, unlike many aluminium road bikes, Love #3 rides smooth, without the harshness some riders may have experienced from other aluminium bikes in the past.
Every Love #3 is built to order. Standard and custom geometries, Ciavete artwork, solid colours or Pegoretti geometric paint designs are all on the table. If in doubt, please get in contact.
