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.”

“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…

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!…
My dream bike is finally here, everything I wanted: steel frame, electronic shifters and hydraulic disk brakes my Officina Battaglin Power+ Disc has it all. Sleek lines, classic look with all the newest technology under 8 kilos may seem hard to accomplish. Buying a bicycle online, without seeing it or trying it may not seem…
“I have tried to choose modern components that function well so that the bike has a classic look but modern performance (Campagnolo Athena 11s., Cinelli stem, Chris King headset with sealed bearings). At last I have had some time to take the Marosticana out for her maiden ride. And a very enjoyable ride it was…
