Back in 2015, SILCA teamed up with legendary Italian frame builder Dario Pegoretti to put his iconic Ciavete-style paint on a very limited number of SuperPista Ultimate Floor Pumps. The name, which loosely translates to “our choice,” is all about the total trust you put in the hands of the builder and artist.
Each pump was hand-painted in that moment, capturing pure emotion, vision, and expression. Ciavete was the original "Surprise Me" in the cycling world, and it went on to inspire a whole new generation of frame builders.
Now, a decade later, we're continuing the tradition Dario started by collaborating with @officinadariopegoretti once again. Though Dario the man is no longer with us, we've commissioned 10 Ciavete pumps with no creative input from us, placing our complete trust in the artists who learned from Dario himself. These pumps were hand-painted in Italy at Pegoretti and then sent back here for final assembly in Indianapolis. As much function as they are art, a design piece to live in your home.
Our trust in the artist, the reputation, and the brand that is now and forever will be Pegoretti.
