Can you build a steel road bike from a classic-looking frame and modern components? Yes! And this new video will show you how. • Join Alex in the Battaglin workshop in Marostica, Italy. • Today, you’ll discover the 6 steps to a custom steel road bike that blends classic style and modern performance. • And here’s a breakdown of this specific process step by step. • Step #1 - The groupset • The first and crucial step is choosing the groupset for your bike. • The good news is that you can choose all kinds of modern groupsets. • In fact, compared to vintage frames that were built for a 5 or 6-speed transmission, a classic-looking frame built today has more spacing between the dropouts. • This means that you’ll be able to equip your bike even with the latest 12-speed groupsets. • In the video, you’ll also discover why you should give a thought to the groupset during the construction of the frame (and not after). • Step #2 - The stem • The second step is choosing the type of stem you want on your road bike. • You will have 2 options: a traditional 1” quill stem, or a modern stem with an adaptor. • In the video, you’ll discover how each type of stem will affect the design and construction of your frame. • Again, this is a decision that you will have to take before the frame is completed. • In fact, your preferences will influence the fork’s specifications. • Step #3 - The seatpost • The internal diameter of a classic-looking frame’s seat tube requires a 27.2mm seatpost. • So, which 27.2mm seatpost is right for you? • In the video, you’ll learn why carbon might be the perfect choice for building a comfortable bike while saving weight. • Step #4 - The wheels • Now it’s time to choose a component that has a huge influence on the bike’s ride quality and aesthetics: the wheels. • In the video, Alex shares his view on why nothing beats deep-section carbon wheels. • Step #5 - Choose the tire width • Which tire width should you run on your bike? • A classic-looking frame is designed to accept tires up to 25mm. • In the video, you’ll discover why you won’t need 28mm tires to enjoy the best possible riding comfort on your steel bike. • Step #6 - The finishing kit • At this point in the process, you’ll just need a few more components to complete the build. • For the saddle, the handlebar tape and the accessories it will all come down to your personal preferences. • ABOUT OFFICINA BATTAGLIN • Officina Battaglin is the steel bicycle brand founded by the 1981 Giro-Vuelta double winner Giovanni Battaglin and his son Alex. • With its collection of custom steel frames and bikes handbuilt in Italy, Officina Battaglin is the only brand managed in person by a Grand-Tour winner. • Each steel frame is made to order and designed to the owner’s specifications by Giovanni Battaglin himself, to deliver the most comfortable and pleasant riding experience. • FREE VIDEO SERIES • Do you want to discover Giovanni Battaglin’s secret formula to building a custom steel bike that rides like a dream? • HERE you can access our FREE video series “The Man of Steel” and get a behind-the-scenes look at the specific process used by the 1981 Giro winner in his eponymous bike workshop in Italy ➡️ https://officinabattaglin.com/free-vi... • SUBSCRIBE to stay up to date with the latest steel bike trends! • / @officinabattaglin • Follow Officina Battaglin on FACEBOOK! • / officinabattaglin • Follow Officina Battaglin on LinkedIn! • / officina-battaglin-custom-steel-bikes-and-... • Follow Officina Battaglin on INSTAGRAM! • / officinabattaglin
