Of Steel - Framebuilder Pegoretti

Are they disappearing or are they finally coming back? Will their legacy be handed down to future generations? I see these videos and I love them not just because I love bikes. There's this "extinction" feeling that makes you feel like you are looking at an endangered species. And anybody looking at an endangered species feels sort of privileged. "It's a rare thing to see, it's something special and it won't last for long". Well let me tell you something: it also feels like SHIT to see people with such a gift having to worry for their survival. It's nonsense they are scarcely considered artists. It's awesome that the new bicycle revival flamed by fixed gears have brought such artisans back where they deserve but it  feels crap they might disappear again when the fashion is over. The wall street fuckers creating virtual money out of thin air and the exquisite artist carving a frame from steel or a drawer from wood...An idea brought to real life versus a number treacherously inflated. How come it's so difficult to understand the difference?
