Back to the testimonials"The standard of build & finish is simply superb"
“I picked up my frame on Wednesday 11th.
I’m absolutely delighted with the same – the standard of build & finish is simply superb – as indeed was the way it was packed for shipment – Many many thanks.
I’m now still chasing New Old Stock Campag equipment – my fall back is to take parts off my Blue Raleigh – as I intend to get this resprayed with the rear chain stays opened to 130mm from 126mm & chromed to match your frame.
Once again please tell your frame builders and finishers how pleased I am to have this fabulous frame.”

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!…
“I first heard of Giovanni Battaglin in the early ’80s when I got into bicycle racing. Being from Italian descent, I have always been a fan of the Italian cycling greats. Having owned Bianchi and Pinarello bikes, I always longed for a Battaglin, especially knowing the company’s pedigree and the success they achieved during the…
Hi Alessandro! Here are some real gravel pictures for you from South Africa and Namibia. The roads in Namibia are VERY rough and now sandy too. The bike is performing well and I’ve done 1500km here.
