Where's the beef ? Take a look at the stays....
A local customer who I built a big-tire road frame for in 2007 ordered this frame. It is essentially a Pegoretti style welded steel frame. The chainstays are Prestige samples, the seatstays are U.S. 4130 aircraft cro-mo.The only dorpouts that would accomodate these large tubes were these Paragon hooded style. The rest of the tubeset is Columbus Spirit oversize tubing. The frame weighs about 3 lbs. 14 oz. , not bad for such a beefer. This customer was toughtful to give it room for Continental 700x28 tires to calm down the ride a little. It will be interesting to see how it rides.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmfxkXnq0gZX_O5jh4iCjYwhW7xkQaeb31RjAs5uKeEpFaeF6eluf2nUGRGWB0jBED9IeWMNFuE__XUp778kscsi7YC_0TTU8Mdj5qezm1l6CEX0Tn429eZBFq3Sl5WnbpwS0hzlYBFfpQ/s400/swiggoretti+001.JPG)
