I stopped by my LBS today and the lead mechanic wanted to show me a bike, so he led me to the back room and there was a Battaglin that had been given to him by a walk-in customer. It is an older model with Simplex derailleurs, "M" labeled down tube shifters, and Modolo brakes. The lugs had heart cut-outs.

He was called back to the front, so I had to stop my inspection there and then. AFAIK Battaglin did not produce low end road bikes. I wasn't able to inspect the frame for a tubing decal, the stem and bars, or the cranks. The saddle was an obvious replacement.

I would like to go back and do a more thorough exam and take some photos.
