What is the name of the owner of your shop?
Fabrizio Avorio

How did you discover cycling?
My father was a big fan of cycling races. I remember that he never missed a Classic, and he would take me to see the arrival of the stages of the Giro d’Italia near our home. There I was able to admire the great champions of the time. When I was very young I got my first bike, and over the years, bikes have always remained by my side.

For how many years has BCT Roma been in business?
More than ten years in total — five of them in the new shop in Piazza Gracia.

What is your shop’s mission statement?
First of all, we are passionate about bikes. We try to satisfy customer needs with a selection of products that are always special and in demand — we want to stand out from the crowd.

What makes your shop different than others?
Our passion. Before we are retailers, we are cyclists. We always love testing new products, and we don't have anything in stock that we haven't touched or tested first. When we approach a new customer, we usually first have long chats to understand their needs and then direct and advise them toward one or two of the most suitable options.

Why did you choose to carry Ritchey products?
The quality of Tom's products is unquestionable. Ritchey is one of the few brands to have a significant history behind it — including several victories in various world competitions in MTB, cyclocross and road.

What's your favorite Ritchey product?
The Outback frame without a doubt! Having the comfort of a steel frame and one of the lightest frames on the market is priceless!
