The intended title for this post was pedal porn, but the word pedal sounded too close to pedo.
Found out about Bertelli, first name Francesco, a guy based in NY who assembles these beautifully minimal and yet classic bicycles as a hobby. Yes, you read that right. These highly desirable masterpieces on two wheels are assembled using “brand new parts with “new old stock” and vintage parts found at flea markets, old bikeshops, collectors and from my (his) trustworthy suppliers“.
Don’t get me wrong, I do know that I live in a city whose roads are unfriendly to anything without an engine, and whose weather patterns alternate only between scorching hot and torrential rain. The idea of taking bicycling beyond recreational use, just as what is being done in European and Australian cities , remains one that is hard to adopt.
But still, it doesn’t hurt to dream, does it?
Those living in places where cycling is a viable option, you should really check out more beauties at his website.
