Pieroni Artisanal Road Frame Set 1980s

Cicli Pieroni is a small workshop lacated in Casette D'ete near the east cost of Italy, not that far away from Ancona or Pescara. Pieroni bikes are very rare and it is no surprise, because just a handful handcrafted bikes left this workshop per year.

There is also an interesting connection with other more famous Italian brand - Somec. Apparently, Pieroni was building some Somec frames on contract and some Somec branded bikes were even labeled Somec - Pieroni. Frames produced under Pieroni badge are always unique pieces which don't hide that they have been made by hand, literally. When some edges aren't laser sharp, some details like shifting cables intakes rather bent in than drilled and brazed, you can sense that these frames were built using hands, eyes and experience of the craftsman.
