TWH Chronicles: Battaglin Roma — The Rose Gold Edition
"The Raw carbon, ties with the black accents really make the ROSE Cromovelato POP."
The Battaglin Roma represents the pinnacle of modern Italian frame building, seamlessly blending the ride quality of custom steel with the performance benefits of carbon fiber. This specific build takes that philosophy to an entirely new level with a breathtaking Rose Gold Cromovelato finish applied to the steel lugs, contrasted perfectly against the raw carbon tubes. The result is a machine that honors tradition while embracing the cutting edge.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cromovelato?
Cromovelato is a traditional Italian finishing technique where the steel frame is first fully chrome-plated and polished to a mirror shine, then coated with a translucent tinted lacquer. This gives the frame an incredible depth and metallic brilliance that standard paint cannot replicate.
How does the Roma differ from other Battaglin models?
The Roma is Battaglin's modern masterpiece, uniquely combining custom Columbus steel lugs with bespoke carbon fiber tubes. This hybrid construction delivers the vibration damping and soul of steel with the lightweight responsiveness of carbon.

Yes. As a premier North American dealer, The Wheelhouse works directly with Officina Battaglin to design and build custom frames tailored to your exact geometry and finish preferences.
