NOTE TO DARIO

Egregio Signor Pegoretti, Come medico e ricercatore ho constatato di persona che il desiderio di vivere serve tanto quanto la piu' avanzata chemioterapia. Spero che lei ne abbia grande quantita'. Grazie per aver fatto sorridere tanti appassionati con il frutto del suo essere. In bocca al lupo.

Hi, Dario! We wish You a HAPPY NEW NEAR with health and very much happiness in building bicycles! While me and my family use average bicycles (for me it's an alu road-bike), I extremelly appreciate those - like You! -, who provide something special; both concerning their products and their personality! Good luck for 2008 and 2009, 2010, and so on...! /and good luck for me to have a Pegoretti sometimes :) ... /

Dear Dario, I have always loved things Italian and lucky for me you are Italian! I finally made the decision to move forward with my purchase of one of your pieces of rolling art following my return from Tuscany in Sept. 2006. I have since taken delivery of my BLE and have on order a custom Marcelo since August 2007. Stay strong and realize that you have achieved a purpose in life that is defined by your passion and artistry. You have achieved a purpose that many us can only imagine and one that I expect you will deem complete on your own terms. I wish you well.

Life is beautiful and it never ceases to challenge, take care. A little Beethoven, Mozart, Leonardo Da Vinci and looking out into the cosmos is nice. I envy your legacy and pray for your good health.

Hello Dario, I wish you health and happiness and many more productive years and raise my glass for you and the fabulous machines you create. This is my Duende which I built while I was recovering from surgery to my shoulder. It kept me motivated and entertained which is more I could ever ask for. All the best, Haim

Dear Dario, I wish you Health and you are in my prayers, Keep fighting! You Are THE MAN You are a constant inspiration to me, I have slowly become a fanatic about you, your frames and your art to the point my friends are like "shut up about Pegoretti already!". My best riding buddy is looking at new frames and all I can say is why would you want anything else but a Pegoretti! I have a simple Palosanto,it is by far my favorite bike, as I like long rides, I plan on acquiring more of your frames. My dream is to come to your shop someday and help build a totally custom frame, a "Miles Davis Marcelo". I anxiously await more news of your progress. Hang in there Brother!

It hurts to know that an artist like yourself could be taken from the world cycling community before your time. Please take care and get better.

Dario, Words do not do justice to the inspiration you & your work provide. Thank you for your vision, thank you for your art, thank you for your bicycles, thank you for being you.
