Mine arrived yesterday. It's 58 square with a level top tube. The finish is beautiful, fillets so smooth. But I was surprised that the 4 tubes connected to the bottom bracket are tig'ed, not fillets. It's 11°f here now so no temptation to build it up right away. I have a new R8000 group for the build.

These are really nicely done. Looking forward to some ride reports.
Not to poop on the party but I might make a suggestion for the future regarding the logo.
The crosses, the colorways and the top tube graphics are all nicely done. I think the "Officina Battaglin" however gets a bit lost.
I remember the Battaglin logo of old. Perhaps they could redesign it making the "Officina" smaller type and the "Battaglin" bolder.
I realize it's a new venture and they want to distinguish themselves but as they say they dusted off the old machines and put them to good use. And by using the name they are using history as their foundation.
It just seems to me that the logo should reflect a bit of the past while acknowledging the move forward. And a bolder name would stand out more.
My worthless opinion. A bike should look as good as it performs. Can't say the same for myself.

Mine arrived today! So cool. Asymmetrical chain stays are awesome as is the shaping on the top tube and down tube. Very cool frameset.

I'll get some daylight pics tomorrow.

Agreed the shaping on the top tube is particularly cool. Can't wait to see your pics. I am letting the paint cure for a little longer, plus it is too cold around here to be in the garage building a bike.

Oh, man... you would have to post one in that color scheme. Now I'm checking their website... Just really grabbed me! Congrats. And of course, this heritage and color palette deserves, ah, no, demands Campagnolo!
