Testimonials
Here's what our fellow cyclists said about riding the Officina Battaglin custom steel bikes
Back to the testimonials"To say my Marosticana is spectacular is an understatement… And it rides superbly too"
“I started my wonderful journey with Alex and the other people from Officina Battaglin last year.
After submitting my email, Alex arranged an interview and outlined the models and the options. I signed up and submitted my measurements, and agreed on the custom-sized frame measurements.
A few weeks later, we had another interview with Alex and agreed on the colour and braze ons etc.
Each stage was thorough, clear, and interesting. Throughout the process, I received emails and pictures of my frame being built, polished, chromed, and painted.
I received the frameset a few months after my initial contact with the company, and WOW! To say the frameset is spectacular is an understatement, and it rides superbly too.
I would not hesitate in recommending the company and the product, a truly unique and wonderful experience from start to finish.
Real craftsmen and a bicycle to treasure.”

“Hi Alex, Hope you’re doing well. Herewith my first impression (testimonial) on the Power+. This is not yet a video testimonial. Working on that one as well. After several rides in my neighbourhood, yesterday I had (what I call) the maiden ride on the Power+ in a hilly part of the Netherlands (only 100 meters…
“The frame arrived yesterday and it is just beautiful. Can’t wait to build and ride.”
Hello Alex! As you can see, the Netherlands is quite flat. It’s all flat. This is typically Dutch. And in this world, there’s now a new kind of bike. A bike that is astonishing… That you can’t compare to anything else. You know it! But do other people do? It’s the Officina Battaglin Portofino. I…
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? The saddle 😀 My Portofino is the smoothest and the most beautiful bike I have ever ridden!…
