Officina Battaglin Roma Frameset

The Roma frameset by Officina Battaglin represents the perfect fusion of tradition and innovation. Designed for riders who appreciate the soul of steel but demand modern performance, the Roma showcases Battaglin’s signature hybrid engineering approach.

Constructed from advanced Columbus GB81 steel tubing, the frameset delivers an exceptionally smooth yet lively ride character. This modern steel alloy offers impressive strength-to-weight performance, ensuring durability without sacrificing responsiveness. Complementing the tubing are precision-crafted stainless steel lugs, adding both structural integrity and a refined visual identity. The result is a frameset that feels as dynamic as it looks.

A defining feature of the Roma is Battaglin’s iconic cromovelato finish. This translucent, high-gloss coating reveals the intricate beauty of the steel beneath, creating a deep, luminous appearance that shifts with the light. Each frame becomes a statement piece — a blend of craftsmanship and artistry that is unmistakably Italian.

On the road, the Roma frameset excels with its smooth and responsive ride quality. It absorbs road imperfections with ease while maintaining the sharp handling and acceleration modern riders expect. Whether built as a performance-focused road bike or an elegant bespoke build, the Roma offers a riding experience that feels both classic and contemporary.
