The 2019 Giro d'Italia starts this weekend, and finishes again in the Verona Area. Officina Battaglin releases a limited edition frame that honours the venue of the greatest day in Giovanni Battaglin's career.

Two years ago, in 2017, Battaglin announced a run of 30 diamond-studded frames commemorating Stephen Roche's 1987 Tour-Giro-World's hat trick. Only one set remains of the materials required for this stunning custom frame.

The stage racing champion of the 1970s and 80s talks about his entry to bicycle racing, an enduring passion for cycling, and the custom steel frames his company makes in the present day.

An influential frame builder loved and respected around the world, who bridged the gap between classic and contemporary frame building eras in Italy.

Andre Haak bought a Colnago Master frameset that was ridden by Belgian superstar Edwig Van Hooydonck to victory in the 1991 Tour of Flanders, and recreated a Buckler team replica bicycle as Van Hooydonck would have ridden.

Frame building world stunned and saddened by the sudden and unexpected departure of one of its most influential figures.

Wayne Bingham brought an early-1980s Colnago to the Classic Rendezvous Weekend that featured many Colnago-engraved components, including a very special brakeset.

Bicycle Collector Harvey Sachs brought a 1972 Cinelli SR bicycle with him to the Classic Rendezvous Weekend that featured a couple of innovative components from the Italian brand that were far ahead of their time.
