Testimonials
Here's what our fellow cyclists said about riding the Officina Battaglin custom steel bikes
Back to the testimonials"The Portofino G is fast-rolling for road riding and comfortable for gravel riding"
“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 6 hrs rides, and it was just fun. The build choice with 35mm tires and the Cadex wheels works perfectly fine with the bike.
The comfort of the bike is remarkable. Although it is hard to say how much of the comfort is coming from the steel frame, the difference to my carbon bikes is obvious.
The Portofino G is my preferred bike, and I am planning some long-distance rides through the Alps next year.
I look forward to a lot of great experiences with my Portofino G.”

I didn’t originally purchase the Bassanese as a replacement for my custom titanium bike, but I just loved riding the Battaglin so much my other bike has been relegated to the status of second…
“WOW, what a bike! That was my first thought when I saw the Power+ EVO on the GCN Tech Show. Officina Battaglin had just launched this new bike. I just couldn’t get the picture out of my head and wanted to know more. I reached out to the company and got introduced to the Battaglin…
“I first heard of Giovanni Battaglin in the early ’80s when I got into bicycle racing. Being from Italian descent, I have always been a fan of the Italian cycling greats. Having owned Bianchi and Pinarello bikes, I always longed for a Battaglin, especially knowing the company’s pedigree and the success they achieved during the…
