Gabriele from Modica: Riding His Forgione Handmade Bicycle from Campania to Sicily
· 2 min read
When passion for cycling meets Italian craftsmanship, stories like that of Gabriele from Modica are born.
After choosing a Forgione handcrafted bicycle made to measure with Columbus steel tubing, Gabriele came in person to collect it… but his journey didn’t stop there.
Vincenzo Forgione met him at the Avellino railway station for the delivery.
After sharing a coffee and a friendly chat, Gabriele loaded his travel bags onto the new bike, got in the saddle, and started his ride back to Sicily — pedaling all the way!
“Great Vincenzo Forgione — a friend, but above all, an artist in crafting our bicycles... Thank you ❤️”
A simple yet meaningful message that captures the spirit of those who choose a Forgione custom steel frame:
not just a technical product, but a true travel companion with a soul.
Vincenzo replied with heartfelt gratitude:
“Thank you, Gabriele — and thanks to all the ‘special’ people like you who have trusted me and motivate me to keep going.”
Gabriele’s bicycle is a unique creation, entirely handmade in the Forgione Telai workshop in Gesualdo, using Silver Fillet Brazed joints and obsessive attention to detail.
His journey from Campania to Sicily is living proof of the quality and reliability of an Italian handcrafted steel frame built to last a lifetime.
