Officina Battaglin

Officina Battaglin is an Italian brand who specialise in custom built framesets. Founded by Giovanni Battaglin, the legendary cyclist who won 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. In their workshop in Marostica, Italy, they build custom steel bikes to customers specifications.

Each frame they make bears the founder’s signature, thanks to exclusive Italian finishes and custom geometries designed by Giovanni Battaglin in person.

Officina Battaglin Marosticana Steel Frameset

The Officina Battaglin Marosticana frameset is a celebration of timeless Italian craftsmanship. Built using traditional methods that have defined steel bicycle construction for decades, this classic lugged steel frameset captures the essence of heritage cycling while embracing the demands of modern performance.

Handmade in Italy, the Marosticana is constructed from premium Columbus SL steel tubing, paired with beautifully finished cast lugs. This combination delivers the unmistakable ride quality that only high-end steel can offer — smooth, responsive, and remarkably refined. Every frame is crafted using the same meticulous process Officina Battaglin has employed for over 40 years, preserving the artistry and precision that made Italian steel frames legendary.

While deeply rooted in retro aesthetics, the Marosticana is thoughtfully adapted for contemporary riders. Its geometry and specifications are designed to accommodate modern groupsets, wheel standards, and components, allowing you to build a bicycle that blends classic style with cutting-edge technology. The result is a frameset that looks vintage yet performs with modern confidence.

Whether you’re creating a bespoke road bike or a statement build, the Marosticana stands as a testament to authentic steel framebuilding — where tradition, beauty, and ride quality converge.
