Testimonials
Here's what our fellow cyclists said about riding the Officina Battaglin custom steel bikes
Back to the testimonials"The frame was beautiful, almost a shame to take it on the road"
I have had an appreciation for Italian made bikes, ever since I bought my first one in 1989.
So when I saw the release of the Collezione Speciale I immediately expressed my interest.
My experience dealing with Alex and the rest of the team at Officina Battaglin has been fantastic.
Waiting for the frame to be manufactured gave me the time to consider the build options, there was no doubt that this bike deserved an Italian groupset.
The frame arrived just before Christmas and I wasted no time building it up. Wow!
It was beautiful, almost a shame to take it on the road.
But a bike is meant to be enjoyed and once out there I appreciated it even more.
No carbon bike can ever compare with the feel of a steel frame.
Also, it always gets attention from other riders.
Thank you for keeping the tradition of steel alive.

“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…
“WOW !!!!!!!!! Even better than I was expecting Alex. Totally stunning. I’ve owned a lot of bicycle frames since 1981 and this is, without doubt, the most beautiful.

I fondly remember first seeing the Officina Battaglin Portofino when it was introduced, in rim-brake version, with cromovelato lacquer in Italian colours. It immediately struck me as a piece of cycling art, a gorgeous…
“6 months later! Here it is. A sneak peek into an absolute work of art from Officina Battaglin. Never seen such a stunning finish. Made to order. Fully custom geometry. Limited to only 40 bikes. The Power+ Evo!” … “Over 20 years on a bike and hundreds of thousands of kilometers… But today, I felt…
“I have been on the look for a while to find the right frame that would match my Campagnolo 50th anniversary group. When Officina Battaglin released the first pictures of the amazing Arena 1981, I instantly realized that this was the perfect match. I quickly ordered mine and with the guidance of Giovanni have build…
Hello Alex, When cycling in Salzburg Salzkammergut, I ride my dream bike from Officina Battaglin. Whether I climb the mountains or descend the hills, I feel that this Portofino was made for me. Long trips over 150 km are the best with my Battaglin. It makes me happy and satisfied… And it definitely draws attention! Thank you…
