The Peschi originated from Nice where there is, or was, a strong Italian presence such as the Urago brothers. Even their bikes are not all that common but the higher end models did feature wrap around seat stays as well as fish mouth ends at the dropouts, which the Peschi also has. I will most likely never know the history of the bike but there is a very good likelihood that the Urago shop constructed it for someone.


Some very talented frame builders in Europe remained anonymous even though they made very nice frames, often for a racing team or specific rider. Still possible to find a lightweight frame that is the equal of the more well known marques for a lot less.
