Tradition
We start from bikes with a history and we respect their soul. Original frames, engines and lines are the starting point, never an obstacle.
The brand · Matteucci Garage
No
series.
Only real
bikes.
Matteucci Garage is Marco Matteucci's workshop in Montegranaro. Here bikes are stripped down to the frame and rebuilt by hand, one at a time, with no catalogues and no copies.
01 — The manifesto
Build
less,
build
better
I started in 2013 with four old Moto Guzzis and no experience as a mechanic. I came from graphic design and advertising photography: I knew how to draw a line, I did not yet know how to build it.
Since then every bike has been a different challenge. There is no model to repeat, there is a bike to listen to: its history, its engine, the person who will ride it. The rest is decided by hands, time and a few nights in the workshop.
Building less means giving every project the time it deserves. Building better means that when a bike leaves the garage, it takes with it a name, a character and a signature that will never be repeated.

02 — The values
Six things
that never
change
These are the rules we set ourselves from day one. They apply to a café racer as much as to an e-bike, to a restoration as much as to a project started from scratch.
Distinction
A custom bike should be recognisable from across the street. Proportions, colours and details are decided before the metal is even touched.
The impossible
When a part does not exist, we make it: tanks, tail sections, brackets, filters. If needed, it is machined from solid.
One at a time
There is one project at a time in the workshop. It is the only way to really follow it, from the first teardown to the last screw.
Handmade
Hand-beaten aluminium, stitched leather, visible welds. Whatever can be done by hand, we do by hand, together with craftsmen we trust.
Forever
Every bike is designed to last and to be ridden for a long time. And if one day it needs a hand, the workshop that built it will be here.
A custom bike is not chosen from a catalogue. It is built around the person who will ride it.
03 — The method
From idea
to road
Every project follows the same path, even though each time it leads somewhere different. Five phases, no shortcuts.
Listening
It starts with a chat: the bike, who will ride it, where and how.
The design
Sketches, tests and materials. The line is decided on paper before it reaches the workshop.
Down to the frame
The bike is taken apart piece by piece, down to the bare frame and the engine.
The build
Sheet metal, leather, wood and mechanics: every new part is born in the workshop or in the hands of trusted craftsmen.
The handover
Road tests, final adjustments and then the keys, together with a name.
04 — In numbers
Few bikes,
all different
Since 2013 more than forty custom bikes have left the workshop, each with its own name and its own story.

05 — In the details
The signature
is in the
details
Every bike is made of dozens of small choices. They are the ones you notice up close, and they make a custom bike truly unique.

06 — Behind the brand
Hands,
not
machines
Behind every bike there are people, not an assembly line. Marco Matteucci and Daniele Pollastrelli in the workshop and, around them, a network of local craftsmen for upholstery, leatherwork, engraving and mechanics.

One single
way of working
Custom bikes, e-bikes and the garage where both are born. The vehicle changes, the method stays the same.

Your bike
could be
the next one
If you have a bike sitting in the garage, a frame waiting for its moment or just an idea in your head, drop us a line. We answer personally: that is always where it starts.
