Officina Battaglin
“Officina Battaglin is an Italian brand of custom steel bikes. Founded by Giovanni Battaglin, the legendary cyclist capable of winning the Giro d’Italia and the Vuelta a Espana in just 48 days, Officina Battaglin is dedicated to ensuring that every creation is truly bespoke.” – https://officinabattaglin.com
“In our workshop in Marostica, Italy, we build custom steel bikes to the owner’s specifications, with comfort as a constant. Each frame we make bears the founder’s signature, thanks to exclusive Italian finishes and custom geometries designed by Giovanni Battaglin in person.”

The Portofino
“The Portofino is the first steel frame in the world with proprietary oversized lugs designed to fit the oversized Columbus HSS tubing and a tapered steerer. This unusual combination of modern and traditional is the real secret behind the Portofino’s unique ride feel.”
“Thanks to the special lugs shapes engineered by Giovanni Battaglin, the Portofino delivers both the responsiveness of modern custom builds and the smoothness of vintage steel bicycles.”
“With the Portofino, you’ll experience a level of riding comfort that will let you enjoy cycling to the fullest. You’ll get rid of sore muscles and joints because of road vibrations going up your arms, even when sprinting or when adding more time in the saddle. And you’ll finally be able to come back home at the end of the ride without feeling pain.”
