Quote

“I will never be able to afford a Ferrari or a Patek Philippe or a Picasso,” Gordon Haber, owner of Lakeside Bicycles in Lake Oswego, Ore., wrote in a tribute shortly before Mr. Pegoretti’s death. “I own and ride a Pegoretti frame. . . . If you don’t own one, you are living a life of needless cycling deprivation.”

Too soon for sure. He was having a real upswing of "fame" and recognition in the past decade or so.  I've seen and read lots of interviews with him and he always seemed like a nice enough guy.  Definitely hope he passed the torch to someone.
