The next wave, new generation, the changing of the guard; call it what you will: A lot of new companies are showing up at the custom bike expos around the world. These new brands might be entirely new to the industry; or new to the country; or they could just be new to exhibit at a bike show. Here's a quick-view mix including the established and the new at Made PDX.

A conversation with Paul Skilbeck, the English co-translator of Giovanni Battaglin's recent memoir '48 Days,' who actually speaks very little Italian

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.

The popular Power+ frame from Battaglin gets a braking boost.
