Here's what our fellow cyclists said about riding the Officina Battaglin custom steel bikes
Back to the testimonials"The ride is very smooth and fast, and the look is amazing"
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 the right thing at first but after I emailed and then phoned with Alessandro I was at ease.
A few basic measurements of your body together with the measurements of your current bike will help decide the size of your frame.
Alessandro’s expertise has helped me decide on the finishing kit, his patience answering all my questions and willingness to work with me and giving me several options within my budget was second to none.
There was no pressure to get more expensive components, even though I have been riding Dura Ace for a number of years now, you mentioned that Ultegra Di2 is a wonderful option and a great value with a very small weight penalty.
After I had a few rides on the new bike I had the proof that I made the right choice going with the steel frame made by a company with great tradition and success in this business.
The ride is very smooth and fast, and the look is amazing.
Grazie, Alessandro, well done.

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…
“Wow, what a stunning bike! I ordered the Portofino for my Haute Route and Gran Fondo adventures, and I had the pleasure of riding it in the 2023 Haute Route Pyrenees. The Haute Route Pyrenees, one of the world’s most prestigious 5-day bike races for amateurs, took us from Andorra to Pau, with 15,000 meters of elevation…
“After the first rides on my Power+ Disc, here are my first impressions. The bike is super silent and super smooth. It doesn’t feel as fast as my carbon racer, but when I look at the averages, it comes pretty close. The biggest difference is the stability though. I think part of it comes from…
Yesterday I finished the Matera build, everything went well, and the bike is very beautiful. Today I did a first test ride and what should I say… Big smile on my face the whole ride! 😊 It rides very nicely and I‘m very happy with it! Thank you for your support, and all the Officina…
