"It makes a huge difference to know that skilled people are taking the time to listen and build something special"

“Just a quick note to thank you (and your team) for all your help with the bike.

Photoshoot day for Red Lantern – My new Battaglin Portofino, which I bought for my 44th birthday. I built this completely Italian: frame, groupset, components, wheelset, tyres, even the inner tubes (Pirellis)! The only thing not from Italy?
