Back to the testimonials"A modern dream ride – with the retro feel of fine steel"
“Dear Alex,
I just want to thank you from my heart for the Power Plus frameset you recently built for me.
It has exceeded my highest expectations!
When I opened the extremely meticulously packed box last Fall, I simply could not believe my eyes.
I have had many top brand carbon bikes over the last 20 years, and still own one, but this is the first custom made steel frame bicycle I have had since I started competitive cycling in 1972.
After reading the Bicycling Magazine review last year, and then speaking with you Alex on the phone, I knew I had to proceed with my order as I my intuition told me that this bike was something unique and special.
I just did not know how special…..It is absolutely amazing!
The custom order paint scheme you and your team created for me is truly a work of art!
The bicycle looks fantastic and is so unique, it always turns heads on group rides.
I built it up with new Campagnolo Record Gruppo and It looks absolutely beautiful. But more important the ride!….It feels like the classic steel bicycle of the 70’s, but a whole lot faster and lighter, and much more responsive.
The Columbus HSS Spirit tubing is so skillfully fillet brazed – together with the modern head tube coupled to the carbon fork, and compact geometry…all making for a modern dream ride – with the retro feel of fine steel.
I continue to get out for brisk weekly evening club rides, and have no problem keeping pace with the pack, who are mostly all on their carbon bikes.
This Spring is the start of my first full season with the Power Plus, and so far my carbon road racing bike hangs-up in the garage looking so lonely from not being ridden!
Thank you so much! I will treasure and enjoy this Battaglin bicycle always.”

“It all begin with an article on the “Bike Rumour” website. The Cromovelato finish really attracted my attention, so I checked out the Officina Battaglin website to get more information.

“Alex- My Officina Battaglin Power+ is my fourth steel frame, and first in over 30 years! The first thing that I noticed about the bike when I rode it on the farm roads around the workshop in Marostica was how smooth and quiet it was. I was expecting a jarring and rattling ride when hitting…
Hello Alex, Giovanni and all the good folks at Battaglin Bikes, My pursuit for a new bike began 4 years ago when an unfortunate collision left my beloved Look 585 in pieces. Once I’d healed, I picked up my 20-year-old steel Serotta and began to think of my next ride. I knew I wanted steel…
“Good morning Alex, I wanted to take a few pictures of my new bike before writing to you… But as soon as I came home from my first ride with the Power+, I couldn’t help but sit down at my desk to tell you about my sensations. FANTASTICA!!! It goes beyond my expectations. The first…
“I have put over 400 kilometers on my Power+ EVO over the past 10 days and could not be more pleased with the performance of the bike. It is a comfortable climber and very stable descender, accelerates with ease and feels smooth on even the roughest sections of the road. The second ride on it…
