Hello Everybody!

The subject line is a thinly veiled reference to that wonderful/horrible part of CHINATOWN that has resonance today as we see the new paint scheme of the new Pegoretti Luigino.

I would love to hear everyone's feelings about this.

Me–well, I just plain ol' love Pegorettis. Dario can do no wrong as far as I am concerned. Or at least he hasn't in my experience. Part of me wonders, though, with this particular model which has been his (oversized) steel homage for several years, if, when scouting for vintage Campy lug and dropout designs if he takes the philosophy inside, too, and tries to mimick some of the ride characteristics of the old bikes (such as Legnanos.) I've never ridden the Luigino, his 'tip of the hat' to the masters (as Dale coins it) but I know his more modern numbers–CCKMP/Marcelo/Fina Estampa bear little resemblance, delightful (very) though they may be...

Any opinions about this or otherwise about this particular keeper of the flame?
