Battaglin Portofino, "Oversized Steel Road Bike"
https://bikerumor.com/2019/02/20/bat...eel-road-bike/
Maybe if I seen in a different color I would like it more, but as is, visually, it's a hard pass for me. Looks aside, I wonder how it rides. |

I kind of like the color. The only thing I'd change is the lugs and chrome treatment on the stays would be stainless instead. I certainly wouldn't mind trying one out.

I like the frame, not sure I am digging the fork though.

Wonder how much that tank weighs.

I was toying with the idea of getting a Marosticana last year. Their prices are reasonable for the quality of their work from what I can see in pictures. Not sure how I feel about the oversized tubes with lugs though on this one though.

meh. I think the color doesn't do it justice.

my guess would be similar to other oversized tubeset bikes. Im not really sure whats special about this other than a pretty beefy downtube. Im not sure the tubes are much more oversized than Pegorichie for instance.
id ride it |

Not a huge fan of the lugged oversized look. Some of their other offerings look pretty sweet

thats cool....
but i still prefer the slimmer profile of more traditional lugged steel bikes. still a really nice bike though. people buying it likely dont care about weight. if they did. they wouldnt even consider something like this :P |

Couple of thoughts...
Being custom, any color combination, lug detail could be picked. Italian fashion is often a few seasons in front of American acceptance. That Stephen Roche limited commemorative frame is very nice although the inlaid diamonds are a little over the top - see above sentence. |

Don’t recognize the headbadge/builder. Nice work. By who?
