Duende: ("having duende") loosely means having soul, a heightened state of emotion, expression and authenticity, often connected with flamenco.  The artistic and especially musical term was derived from the duende, a fairy or goblin-like creature in Spanish mythology.  Given the correct artistic temperment, Duende can be found in any art form, including bicycle frames (surprised?).

The Pegoretti Duende is evolved from the discontinued Palosanto. Built from custom drawn Columbus ZONA tubing, it combines the Palosanto rear triangle with the Marcelo front and results in a kinder, gentler road bike suitable for calmer, lighter weight riders.  Handmade along the Brenta River in Italy, it comes from Pegoretti Cicli with the carbon Falz fork (a Pegoretti design manufactured by Columbus) and a custom, oversized Chris King D11 headset.

We offer the Duende as a frameset and would be happy to consult with you about a complete bike or a parts package to compliment your Pegoretti frameset.  The Duende comes with a Falze fork and a custom designed Chris King D11 headset.  It uses a 31.6 seatpost and a 32mm front derailleur clamp.  The bottom bracket is Italian threaded.  We have several sizes and paint schemes in stock and ready to ship.  As with every Pegoretti frameset, the Duende is manufactured in standard geometries in 1cm increments from 48 to 60cm as well as by special order, in custom geometries.  Except for strictly special order models (Big Leg Emma, Day is Done, and Luigino) Pegoretti frames are offered in one paint scheme at a time but can be ordered in any current design including Panel, CIavete, or in solid colors.  Special order Duende's are available set up for electronic shifting (no gear cable guides) and as a CX version for use in cyclocross.
