La atención que te da Stefano y sus bicis son espectaculares.
Es un lugar donde te venden más que una bici, la experiencia y la felicidad que te generan.

Stefano is the absolute best. My friend and I rented 2 bikes from him for a multi day bikepacking trip. He also has so many other things to rent (bags) and all the add ons you could need! Beyond everything, he was so kind and responsive. Whenever something went sideways on our trip, he responded super quickly and ultimately made sure our trip ended up okay.

He made our 4 day trip incredible and it wouldn’t have been the same without him. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Highly recommend Stefano for any and all of your bike rental needs :)

My girlfriend and I were visiting Turin for a few days without our bikes when we spontaneously decided to cycle up the hill across the river. That's when we found Ciclitorino on the web. The owner was very friendly and helpful, he set us up with a couple of bikes with a day's notice, and he also threw in some essentials for the ride that we were missing.
I can't not mention the quality of the frame that I rode. Triple butted, handmade steel, felt like a feather, and sooo so delicate. Artwork. As far as I understood, the bike's done the Transcontinental, too! Well worthy of it! If I ever decide on a steel bike, I'll surely start here when looking for a frame!

Contacted Stefano at Ciclitorino for my visit to Torino. He was prompt and professional and a delight to work with. We talked about the ride I was hoping to do. Ciclitorino is completely custom based on what you want to do whether it’s bike packing, a group ride or even a solo ride. The frames are custom built steel bikes by Stefano himself. I would recommend Ciclitorino to anyone who wants a pleasurable experience renting a bike for their trip. Grazie Stefano and Ciclitorino

Recommended if you’re in Turin and want to hire a high-quality roadbike. Stefano is friendly and responsive. More important - the bikes (steel thus comfortable, yet light) and the service are great (l forgot my helmet which he provided free of charge).

If you are in Turin, and have any interest in cycling you must visit Stefano at Ciclitorino. He designs and builds beautiful custom track, road, touring and cyclocross frames.

In March he helped my girlfriend and I plan a tour from Turin to Venice, and rented us two of his bikes (and bike packing bags) for an exceptional price! The bikes were amazing for the trip!

Stefano is building a very cool cycling community in Turin and I recommend everyone to visit!

Great concept store. The staff are very friendly and passionate about their products. Left the shop with a cool cycling cap as my souvenir for Torino but have now found my next new racing bike purchase (pic below 😀). Great work guys.

Cercavo una bici da corsa di media/alta gamma da prendere in affitto per una settimana in giro per le Alpi e ho scoperto Dësgenà.
Il negozio offre alcuni dei suoi modelli di punta (carbonio e inox) in una vasta gamma di taglie e configurazioni. Quasi tutto montato Campagnolo Record e qualche Sram.
Grande disponibilità da parte dello staff, flessibilità nei tempi di consegna e nelle messe a punto.
Penso che in futuro prenderò in affitto altre bici anche solo per il gusto di provare l'intera gamma di prodotti che Dësgenà offre. E' un modo economico per provare taglie di telaio differenti, nuove configurazioni e prodotti che altrimenti non potrei permettermi e finalmente capire cosa mi piace e su cosa mi trovo meglio.

Consigliato.

A cycling treasure trove, a must-visit for professionals, amateurs, tourists, design-lovers...
Having read other positive reviews online, I entered this shop on my first day in Torino with a half-formed idea of trying out bicycle touring: At the end of my week in the city I had a couple of days to get to Milan, and thought I'd try to do it by bike. I'd been researching the topic a bit online but am not a particularly experienced cyclist, having previously only cycled around cities.
Stefano, the owner, was immediately extraordinarily helpful: renting me a fantastic (and beautiful) road bike, taking me out that very evening on a tour outside and around the city to get me used to the bike, giving tips on posture and technique, giving invaluable advice for my trip, and outfitting me with everything I needed: helmet, rear racks, panniers, lights, lock, spare inner tube, air pump, water bottle holders, even a water bottle as mine didn't fit the holder. He even arranged for me to leave the bike at the end of my trip in a shop in Milan, who would then post it back to him... All this with a genuinely kind, unpretentious, generous attitude, and for an exceptionally good price.
One gets the sense of a staff motivated by a passion for what they do, and a desire to share this joy with others, be they connaisseurs, professionals, or true beginners. I checked out a few other bike shops in my week in the city, and all were good shops, but Arteforna/Ciclitorino is in another league entirely.
Highly recommended.

Bellissima realtà artigiana che punta molto sul design, la personalizzazione e la creazione di biciclette fatte a regola d'arte. Le loro creazioni, a seconda delle esigenze del cliente, sono fatte in carbonio, alluminio o acciaio! Un mix tra innovazione, professionalità e passione che saprà accogliervi nel migliore dei modi!
Un negozio di ciclismo per veri appassionati, un personale simpatico e competente.
Consigliatissimo!

Una vera boutique del ciclismo. Si respira la passione per la bici a tuttotondo: dall'escursionismo alla pista. Stefano è gentile e sempre disponibile a darti una mano.
Un "ciclista" vecchio stampo che fa bici su misura e cura il design come pochi altri.
Sicuramente uno store da visitare se si è nei pressi di Torino.

Stefano really provided a great rental service. Both the steel and carbon bikes we hired were really special and set up perfectly. Highly recommended if you are looking to cycle the local hills and beyond to Colle delle Finestre.

Ottimo servizio, molto cordiali e disponibili. Difficile trovare un posto in italia che realizzi bici su misura di tale fattura.
