Featured Bike: Cicli Galetti Stainless Steel Gravel/Trail Bike – Italian Craftsmanship

For almost one hundred years, the Galetti brand has defined itself by the craftsmanship of artisanal bicycles. A lot has changed in the world – and with cycling technology since Cicli Galetti first opened its doors for business in 1920. Cicli Galetti is renown for its professional restorations of vintage bicycles, including paint and any repairs that may be required.

Steel frames of this type usually route cables externally, but Galetti keeps things neat and orderly by internalizing the frame’s derailleur cable housings. If you were wondering, the Glory Roads reference is to a gravel event run by Max Galetti – check out the event Website and Facebook page.
