Dario Pegoretti
and the Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design create exclusive bicycle
frames
Dario Pegoretti’s
frames carried Miguel Indurain, Marco Pantani and Stephen Roche from one triumph
to the next. Today everyone can acquire one of these masterpieces of frame
design. Pegoretti has been selling his thin-walled, high-volume Columbus steel
frames under his own name since 1999. Recently this raw material has been
experiencing a renaissance. These bikes are perfectly finished down to the
finest detail and present an elegant silhouette. Nevertheless, Pegoretti is one
of the most controversial frame builders of our time. His bikes are unique
because of their outstanding paintwork, inspired by contemporary aesthetics.
While his work has been celebrated in a major exhibition at the Museum of Arts
and Design in New York City, it is rejected by traditionalists.
Pegoretti recently
collaborated with students of the Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design to
create three frames – resulting in a spectacular symbiosis of Italian
craftsmanship and outstanding design. The frames are based on the Duende model
and are each available for purchase at auction. The money received for these
three art frames will be donated to help children suffering from cancer. Three
works of art for a very special cause. You can help to help.
