What was the waiting list for the frame like ? I'm also curious on how the paint job gets chosen/inspired - did you make a suggestion or leave it to them ?
do you have a "lust after" bike?

i got mine years ago... 10 i think! the wait wasn't too bad.... except they went on holiday in August and the frame was locked in the paint shop! think it was 4 months in the end.
i chose the paint scheme from the various ones available and the colours (basically a 2 colour job). i then received a call from the shop to say Dario wants to know what colour border between the two.
95% was my suggestion, but i wasn't too fussed really.

That's my understanding. I bought my Luigino in 2008 and the wait time then was about eight months. I knw it has ballooned out a lot since then. Worth the wait, though...

However when it comes to lust, I think something I doubt I'll ever own but I think few could deny it's beauty, it would be Italian steel :

Pegoretti bikes are just gorgeous, wonders to behold that look great with or without waterfalls...
to save some time, ask less busy framebuilder to join steel tubes and Adrian could paint the frame for you - job done!

Well there are a few bikes I'd like to own if could afford, from makers like Seven, Parlee, Serotta or Look, with carbon frames, top of the range wheels, electronic shifting and self inflating tyres.

Oh definitely - take a look at their website. I really don't know if better looking bikes exist and this is awesome, particularly when you see the detailing.
If you want a plain bike, look elsewhere, these ones aren't supposed to be for you.

indeed. see one up close and you 'get it'. if you don't, then fair enough. as soon as i saw one in the flesh (as it were) i knew i had to have it.

It took me a long time to be convinced that spd pedals would make me faster, but they do! Especially at speed downhill because I feel a lot more in control.

A Windcheeta recumbent. Rode one a few years ago and was utterly smitten
And a Lotus bike as used by C Boardman. I would sell a kidney to get my hands on one.
and how much is one of your kidney's worth?
