Frame building with Dario Pegoretti
Dario Pegoretti is one of the great Italian frame builders. He built some of the last steel frames to compete the Tour. May this year I was lucky enough to head out to Verona, catch a bit of the Giro and attend a frame building workshop with Dario himself.
What follows is a short photo blog of this amazing and inspiring workshop where around a dozen of us built four frames with Dario’s help and guidance. But before my mediocre photos (I only had my little IXUS and the light was poor!), a couple of videos. The first is from the organiser (OniricaLab) and the second from Andrew Denham of The Bicycle Academy. Together they really capture the atmosphere:
COME FEMO I LAORI A CALDONAZZO… Dario Pegoretti per OniricaLab from Fuoriscala.
