Roman: Inspired by the Past, Built for the Future
Roman might not be a name you’re familiar with, but that’s part of the appeal. This small UK operation is quieter and more intentional than its mass-market counterparts. The sort of bikes that’ll spark countless conversations propped up outside the café post-ride. ‘Is that an independent brand?’ ‘Does it climb well?’ ‘Is it light?’ ‘Reckon it could beat mine in a sprint?’ The answer, of course, is yes to all of the above.
Whether you’re a die-hard roadie or a gravel evangelist, there’s a Roman bike to suit. The current range is made up of three models:
The Aero R XXV is a wind-tunnel optimised aero road bike designed to slice through the air. Its slimmer sibling, the SL R XXV, is a lightweight racer built for pure agility. And last but not least, the Gravel F XXV is a thoroughbred drop-bar off-roader, complete with generous tyre clearance for up to 48mm rubber.
Whatever your style of riding, there’s a Roman bike to suit.
These are the pillars of Roman’s approach to bicycle design, taking inspiration from the ingenuity and resilience of the Roman Empire. It’s a brand created by cyclists, for cyclists, and with more than 25 years of experience in the industry, the brains behind the bikes know what it takes to make one that stands out from the crowd.
If you’re sick and tired of the same big brands dominating your local roads and want to bring something a little different to the table, a custom Roman build could be a good option.
