Dario Get well soon, this is not going to be my last pegoretti. I love this bike from the first ride, brought all the joy of riding back. No bike since my Bridgestone RB-1 have I been so happy with. Love your art work too. Take care

Dario, I called the guys at La Bicicletta in Toronto to see how you are doing. I was very happy to hear you are back at work and feeling better. I can't wait to see my Luigino when it arrives. I wish you the best of health and please, don't push yourself too hard. I would wait a lifetime to own a bicycle made by you. Best wishes, Gregory White

Your beautiful, quirky bikes were an inspiration to my husband during his yearlong treatment for cancer. This year we will ride the Livestrong Challenge in Austin and be proud. Next year, we hope to ride the Challenge on Duendes and be rock stars. I don't know what inspires you and keeps you motivated, but whatever is, know that there are so many of us that support that dream as you supported ours in your work. Your bikes are a dream come true. Dream Big. Live Strong.

Mr. Pegoretti, When I want to smile, one of the things I do is look at pictures of your bikes. It has been in my plans for years to get one, so you better get well. Love, Jim
