Officina Pegoretti builds handmade steel bicycles from its workshop in Verona, Italy. Each frame is crafted, painted and finished by hand, continuing a tradition of artisanal framebuilding that prioritises ride quality, individuality and craft above all else.

Ten frames. Steel and stainless. Road, gravel, all-surface and classic. Each one built by hand in Verona, and painted like nothing else on the road.

More than a workshop

The Bottega sits on the banks of the Adige in Verona, behind a door that gives nothing away. Inside, it's another world. Steel tubes lean against walls covered in art — a Merckx poster beside an abstract painting beside a row of power switches. There's a welding station at one end, a paint booth at the other, and in between, the quiet intensity of people making things by hand.

Customers who visit tend to stay. They come for a fitting and end up spending the afternoon. They drink coffee, talk about riding, watch a frame being brazed, argue about Zappa. The bike becomes almost secondary — an access pass to an extraordinary place and the people who inhabit it.
