“Officina Battaglin, the Italian custom bicycle maker founded by the former Giro-Vuelta winner Giovanni Battaglin, unveils its new project: the “Cromovelato For You” collection. This series features the Palladio and Pavé steel frames — dedicated to road and gravel cycling respectively — and offers unprecedented personalization speed, setting a new standard in the bespoke space.” – Officina Battaglin
Italian Customization meets Fast Delivery Times
“For the first time, cycling enthusiasts can own a personalized Italian bike without the long wait. Typical custom builds by Officina Battaglin take up to six months, but with “Cromovelato For You,” owners select their cromovelato color and see their bike shipped within four weeks. This collection uses pre-built frames in standard sizes, which are then finished in one of twelve exclusive cromovelato colors.”

“Cromovelato For You transforms how cyclists experience customization,” said Alex Battaglin, co-founder. “It combines fast delivery with the uniqueness of our cromovelato finish, known for its deep and vibrant colors.”
Only 99 Custom Build Slots for 2024
“Alongside this exciting launch, Officina Battaglin is also refining its custom build options. Only 99 custom bikes will be available in 2024, across two models: the Portofino R for road cyclists and the Portofino G for gravel adventurers (allocation between the models will depend strictly on customer demand). These models will be the only ones offering fully custom-made geometry and paint schemes.”
“While ‘Cromovelato For You’ focuses on quicker delivery, our Portofino R and G models remain the pinnacle of bespoke cycling, designed for those who seek a truly tailored experience,” explained Giovanni Battaglin.
Enhanced Local Support through Premium Partners
“Both the custom models and the new “Cromovelato For You” framesets will be available directly from Officina Battaglin as well as through a newly established network of premium bike boutiques. This expansion aims to provide expert support locally.”
“We’re partnering with dealers who match our passion and expertise, enhancing the purchase experience,” said Alex Battaglin.
