Testimonials
Here's what our fellow cyclists said about riding the Officina Battaglin custom steel bikes
Back to the testimonials"I ride the Portofino for hours almost every day: it’s amazing, very comfortable and responsive"
“The Portofino is amazing, very comfortable and responsive. I ride it for hours, almost everyday.
Owning it makes me really proud. My kids’ names engraved on the bike make it really personal for me… And the pink cromovelato color with-all black Italian components is a great combination.
I love to start my day with an early morning ride, when there’s no one on the road, only me and my Portofino.
I just listen to the sound of my freewheel while the Sun rises, and then I go on riding for hours. A high quality ride makes my day!”

Hi Dario, I’m really pleased with how stunning my Marosticana looks and how smooth it rides while still being very responsive with the Lightweight wheels and the Campa Super Record. It feels even more responsive than my last carbon bikes, and I can ride it 2km/h faster than my Faggin. It’s like my Maserati Levante…
