Here's what our fellow cyclists said about riding the Officina Battaglin custom steel bikes
Back to the testimonials"The Power+ EVO: I’ve never seen such a stunning finish. And the bike is so comfortable!"
“6 months later! Here it is. A sneak peek into an absolute work of art from Officina Battaglin. Never seen such a stunning finish. Made to order. Fully custom geometry. Limited to only 40 bikes. The Power+ Evo!”

“Over 20 years on a bike and hundreds of thousands of kilometers… But today, I felt I was hallucinating.
Absolutely stunning work by Officina Battaglin 🇮🇹 and my Dutch maestro @biekbikes 🇳🇱 for putting this piece of art together.”

“The first thing I did after I reached home in Tashkent?
I went about building my bike. And weighed it! 7 kilos for a custom steel bike from Officina Battaglin. With my favorite Lightweight wheels! Can’t wait to ride this tomorrow!! 😍😍😍”
…
Over the past few weeks, I have ridden this Battaglin more than any other time during the past year.
Nothing I am going to write here is new. All I wanted to say is that this bike is so comfortable to ride. I got the geometry right! And then each time I go over a rough section, the frame absorbs so many road vibrations despite the fact that
1. I am riding one of the stiffest wheels although they are tubulars
2. A complete carbon integrated cockpit and seat post and
3. A carbon fork!
Lastly, it’s fast. Yesterday I averaged 31 despite going thru the city twice.

“I’ve been riding since I was about three years of age. Until about 17 or 18, I used to race strictly on an amateur level. I went to University and did other things… I didn’t ride a bike seriously for about 20 years. And then, in my mid to late 30s, I rediscovered the passion…
“I have followed the career of Giovanni Battaglin for many years when I was a teenager – the climax was the fabulous `Double victories` in 1981 it was so special, one of the nicest memories. The races, bikes, and riders of this time, I feel were the `Golden Age of Cycling` I remember with the…
“To My Friend Alex: In December of 2018, I went on a group ride and saw my friend, Allen McKay, on this stunning bike. I rode up to him and told him that’s the third different bike I’ve seen you on in the last 3 rides together and that is the most beautiful of the…
“I want to thank you for a wonderful bike. My Portofino G just rides awesome. It is fast-rolling and agile for road riding and comfortable and stable for gravel riding. A real do-it-all bike and a perfect match for the terrain around my hometown with tarmac and gravel mountain roads. I did some 2 to…
“I love the bike. It’s way different, in that it is steel, but it’s super comfy and loves to roll!!!” Photo credits: Morgan Segal Photography www.morgansegal.com Build credits: Zealot Cycleworks https://www.zealotcycleworks.com/
