Viale Enzo Ferrari, Cavarzere (VE) Italy

The small street home to Bottecchia and 4 other major bicycle manufacturers

The only question is how can such major operations be run out of such small spaces?

Enzo Ferrari - his legacy of speed continues on 2 wheels

As it happens, I’m going to be in the area on business in the near future and I’m going to try and organize a factory tour to see where my beloved Bottecchias are built. Wish me luck. I will report back when my heroes on Viale Enzo Ferrari respond.

  2. Grazie pirata!

    Never believed you were dead, just tired of riding Bianchi when you could have had a shiny new BOTTECCHIA!

    Keep it real.


  3. Still no response from Bottecchia but I’m sure they’re busy making great bikes.


  4. Maybe they don’t want you to visit. Maybe they have something to hide…


  5. I agree with Lyle. Maybe it is just a warehouse for bikes made overseas.
