Then there are others who came later...Pegoretti for instance. Does he bump someone from the list?
That's kind of why I added the Basso Brothers. They came a bit later on, but worked with Sante Pogliaghi and it is said that Sante gave Alcede Basso all of his "secrets", and he went with the Basso brothers in order to bring back his good name, which I guess was faltering. Basso is still making a steel framed Pogliaghi, one at a time, among other steelies.
I just can't get into the Pegoretti's. I like loud paint jobs, such as Colnago did, but Pegoretti was on another level and it's really an aquired taste. Wasn't he better known as a painter than a builder?
Is that shirt available anywhere? Very cool.
