The Man From Modena

The door to the Bottega is always open. From Monday to Friday, friends, old and new, drop in to talk bikes, life, and often, a whole lot more. Visitors from places we have to look up on the map and locals bringing us lunch. Recently, we hosted Luca Campanale, a Modena-born longtime resident of New…

Capturing Magic With a Disc Pegoretti Responsorium

Words by James Startt. As a professional cycling photographer, I spend a lot of time on the road, travelling, not riding. So for much of my year, I simply do maintenance miles to remind my cycling muscles that they are still alive and will be called upon again. But twice a year, often in May/June…

Stefano’s Milano Mxxxxxo

"What else could it be?" Stefano replies, when asked why he chose a Ciavete one-of-a-kind composition to complete his new Mxxxxxo build. "For me, a Pegoretti has to be finished with a Ciavete - it's the only way!" Thankfully, Stefano was overjoyed with the artwork that we created for his frame, a rich and complex…

The Pegoretti Traditional Panettone Championship 2022

For Italians, nothing quite says ‘festive’ like panettone. Whether enjoyed with a coffee in the morning or a vino Recioto at night, this Milanese sweet bread is a holiday season staple. Here at the Officina, we’ve become so consumed with finding the perfect panettone that for the past two years, we’ve held informal (but ever…

Pegoretti Responsorium Inspired by Korean Colour Culture

A Responsorium Inspired by Korean Colour Culture

At first glance, a traditional Korean Hanok house might not seem to have much in common with a stainless steel, custom-painted road racing bike. But look closer, and the beautifully detailed wooden window frames and muntins characteristic of a Hanok house reveal themselves to be similar expressions of the same spirit of creativity that flows…

Pegoretti x VIA

Londoners and visitors to the UK’s capital city can now browse a select range of Pegoretti frames at VIA, a new gallery-style showroom housed in a lovingly restored grain store in the redeveloped King’s Cross district. And from 8 am on Friday, October 14th, we’ll be there in person. So if you’d like to see…

A ‘Beyond the Frame’ Ciavete Responsorium Disc

For those who didn't go, our 'Beyond the Frame' exhibition at Studio la Città in December 2021 featured not only artwork from Dario Pegoretti and some of the many artists that have passed through the doors of the Officina over the years, but a unique (and hence, Ciavete) Responsorium painted by the youngest members of…

The Disc Pegoretti

A new option available for the Round and Responsorium frames. Developed as a natural extension of the Pegoretti design language, the disc options maintain the clean lines and compelling ride characteristics for which we’re known, while introducing new dropouts and a disc-specific version of the Falz fork. In the past few years we’ve been asked…

Marla’s Magura Duende CX

As all fathers know, once children come along, there’s not as much time for the simple pleasures in life, such as cycling - at least in the early years. So when our special client Manfred from Germany inquired about a Pegoretti for his daughter, Marla, we were only too happy to help father and daughter…
