The Officina Battaglin brand was founded by Giovanni Battaglin, the Italian ex-rider who achieved the Giro d’Italia-Vuelta a Espana double in 1981.

Right after his most successful season as a pro, Giovanni started his own bike workshop. As a bicycle maker, he built custom steel bikes for some of the greatest champions of the 80s and the 90s. With almost 3 decades spent helping pro riders feel good in the saddle,

Giovanni Battaglin is the mind behind the design of the Officina Battaglin products. That’s why an Officina Battaglin custom build will bring you a lifetime of true racing expertise that made the history of cycling.

In the era of bicycle technology's obsession with lightness and stiffness, carbon seems to be the only choice when it comes to finding a new bike to explore new road feels. But is shaving weight the only thing that matters? Giovanni Battaglin asked himself this question in 2014, after 12 years of professional bike racing and more than 30 as a bicycle manufacturer.

With the new Officina Battaglin brand, he returned to his roots. He returned to the exceptional craftsmanship that made his name known all around the world. "Officina" is the Italian word for "workshop". It's the place where Giovanni Battaglin is reviving his legacy as the only Italian steel maker that is also a Grand-Tour winner.

The SIENA

Traditional craftsmanship meets modern versatility

The Siena represents a perfect marriage of time-honored Italian framebuilding techniques and contemporary cycling demands.

Built one at a time using traditional fillet-brazing methods in our Marostica workshop, each Siena showcases the purest form of the skills that have defined Italian framebuilding for generations. Yet beneath this classic craftsmanship lies thoroughly modern thinking: the Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) standard ensures reliability and ease of maintenance. Combined with generous clearance for up to 700c x 35mm tires, the Siena transforms effortlessly from a classic road machine to an all-road explorer, ready to tackle the varied terrain that defines the Italian landscape.

Each Siena is custom-finished to reflect your personal style, with five carefully solid color options available. For those seeking the legendary finish that has made Officina Battaglin frames instantly recognizable worldwide, an upgrade unlocks access to our coveted cromovelato process with 13 stunning translucent options.

THE ROMA

Handmade lugged steel, reimagined for lightness

The ROMA 2024 stands as a pinnacle of hybrid engineering, masterfully blending the timeless smoothness of steel with the feather-light agility of carbon fiber. This unique combination harnesses the best attributes of each material, creating a frame that rivals the lightness of titanium while maintaining the comfortable, vibration-dampening qualities of classic steel. We meticulously balanced these elements to craft a bike that offers an unparalleled riding experience—smooth and responsive, yet astonishingly light. With the ROMA, you’ll no longer have to choose between comfort and weight, and you’ll enjoy the best of both.

The ROMA 2024 not only sets a new standard in frame construction but also in visual splendor. Featuring Officina Battaglin’s signature cromovelato finish, the ROMA introduces a stunning gold rose hue—a special interpretation of the Giro d’Italia pink, deeply rooted in our storied cycling legacy. This exquisite finish on the steel sections beautifully contrasts with the raw, untouched elegance of the carbon areas, making for a look that’s both elegantly classic and distinctly aggressive. And for those who envision a different palette, the ROMA can be personalized further with one of the 12 vibrant options from our Premium Cromovelato Selection. Whichever hue you select from our carefully curated palette, the ROMA 2024 is guaranteed to turn heads, standing out as a masterpiece of design in any pack.

THE MAROSTICANA

A classic adding style and comfort to your casual rides

The Marosticana is a steel frame designed to give your casual rides the look and feel of the best steel bicycles from the 80s. Made from Columbus SL tubing and cast lugs, each Marosticana is built using the same process as 40 years ago, when Giovanni Battaglin launched his eponymous company.

If you’re after a retro style, you’ll be able to assemble the Marosticana with old components and recreate the timeless aesthetics loved by generations of cyclists. But if you want to enjoy the benefits of modern technology, the latest carbon wheels and groupsets will be a great fit too.

No matter what type of bike you’ll build: with a custom Marosticana you’ll experience the legendary ride quality of Italian classic steel bicycles.

When it comes to staying true to the Italian’s framebuilding tradition, nothing beats chrome lugs. If you’re looking for an authentic taste of Giovanni Battaglin’s prestigious past, the Marosticana’s shiny lugs with engraved details make it the go-to frame for an Italian dream build. But the lugs won’t be the only things shining on your bike. For this second edition, the Marosticana comes with the one single finish that will elevate your bike to a work of art: the cromovelato, completely customizable.

You’ll be able to personalise your Marosticana frame with your favourite cromovelato colours and fuel your passion for premium bikes with the translucent effect that only Italian expert craftsmen can create for you.

THE CORTINA

Where titanium meets carbon for your gravel adventures

The Cortina represents a bold evolution in frame building, blending a mixed-material approach with Officina Battaglin’s signature oversized lugged construction. The proprietary titanium lugs seamlessly integrate custom-drawn Columbus Hyperion titanium tubes and Italian-forged high-modulus carbon tubes. Rather than subjecting the titanium to the high temperatures of traditional welding, every joint is bonded, creating incredibly strong connections while preserving the material’s natural properties. The result is a frame that delivers both the legendary ride quality of titanium and Battaglin’s lugged construction, with the stiffness of carbon exactly where it’s needed most.

Each Cortina frame comes standard with a brushed titanium finish that highlights the metal’s natural luster and creates beautiful contrast with the carbon tubes. But if you’re seeking the legendary finish that has made Battaglin frames coveted by collectors worldwide, you’ll be able to custom-finish your Cortina choosing from 13 different cromovelato colors. Just as sunlight transforms the Dolomites into glowing peaks, the Cortina in cromovelato creates that same magical luminescence. The deep, mirrored finish shifts and dances with every angle of light: your bike will command attention whether parked outside a café in Cortina d’Ampezzo or conquering the remote gravel roads that lead to the enrosadira.

THE MATERA

Your custom-finished Italian steel gravel bike

Unlike the mass-produced carbon frames that dominate today’s gravel scene, the Matera is meticulously handcrafted in our workshop in northern Italy. Each frame represents hours of dedicated work by skilled artisans who have spent their lives holding a torch. While most gravel frames are manufactured in high-volume factories overseas, the Matera continues the tradition of Italian framebuilding excellence that has set the standard for generations. When you ride the Matera, you’re experiencing the difference that comes from frames built by hand, one at a time, by craftsmen who approach their work not just as fabrication but as art.

The Matera incorporates the Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) standard. It may seem a small detail, but it becomes crucial to avoid lengthy delays while sourcing a replacement for a broken hanger. With the UDH system, you can find a replacement practically anywhere in the world. This universal approach is especially valuable during gravel events in remote locations or when traveling internationally. It’s one less thing to worry about when planning adventures, allowing you to push your boundaries with the confidence that your bike can be quickly restored to working order no matter where your explorations take you.
