Let me introduce myself: my name is Matteo, I’m 51 years old, I’m Italian from Ravenna in Emilia-Romagna, and I’ve been living in Brazil for two years after spending four years in Colombia.



What kind of bike do I have?

A pearl-colored Colnago Master Più, but it’s still in Italy.

I rode that bike up all the toughest climbs in the Giro, obviously as an amateur.

I recently bought a Tommasini Ultrafire that I still need to finish building.

I had initially planned to use the Campagnolo Record Cult groupset, but then I opted for the more suitable Dura-Ace 7800.

If anyone wants to talk about Alpine climbs, steel bikes from the ’90s and 2000s, or South America, you’ve come to the right place.
