Milani

Milani bikes are one of Italy's best kept secrets. With the origins of the brand dating back as far as the 1920s, there's no denying its pedigree and heritage. Former racer Natale Milani fuelled his passion for cycling by making high quality, hand-built racing frames in Gallarate, 35km north of Milan. They soon gained legendary status among Italian frame builders.

After his death in the 1990s, the company became dormant and various Far Eastern companies offered to buy the name. Natale's son, Celeste, was determined to keep the heart and soul of his father's business alive and relaunched the brand. Today, the exclusive bikes bearing his father's name retain many of the same features. They are still built in Gallarate with the meticulous attention to detail and high standards of craftsmanship with which his father founded the business. While tradition is important, so too is evolution and the continuous development of technology to ensure those riding Milani enjoy cycling at its best.
