Back to the testimonials"Whether I climb the mountains or descend the hills, I feel that this Portofino was made for me"

Hello Alex,
When cycling in Salzburg Salzkammergut, I ride my dream bike from Officina Battaglin.
Whether I climb the mountains or descend the hills, I feel that this Portofino was made for me.
Long trips over 150 km are the best with my Battaglin.
It makes me happy and satisfied… And it definitely draws attention!
Thank you for that gem of a bike.
