“I have been on the look for a while to find the right frame that would match my Campagnolo 50th anniversary group.

“My first encounter with Officina Battaglin was a post by BabaVelo. Battaglin gave me an experience of a lifetime where I could tailor-make the bike in terms of size and colour. I made the experience more memorable by actually visiting their facility in Marostica, where I was welcomed by the entire Battaglin Family. I have…
