ROMAN TRI FRAMESET
Roman Tri – real speed, real adjustability
The Roman Tri frameset is a modern time trial and triathlon platform built for riders who want a genuinely fast bike they can actually get comfortable and aero on.
It takes the same current, high-hand front-end philosophy as our top-tier EVO frame and combines it with a race-focused TT chassis that’s ready for club 10s, 25s, long-course tri and everything in between.
If you’re fed up with TT bikes that look aero but are impossible to adjust, the Tri is designed to be the opposite.
⸻
Properly adjustable, usable cockpit
A lot of TT / tri bikes ship with front ends that are either outdated or a nightmare to tweak. The Roman Tri is built around a front end you can actually work with:
• Fully adjustable poles and extensions – height, reach and angle can be tuned to suit your body, not the other way round.
• Modern high-hand design – current aero style that makes it easier to get into (and stay in) a fast yet sustainable position.
• Easy evolution over time – start a touch conservative, then lower, lengthen or rotate as your flexibility and strength improve, without needing to rip the whole front end off.
The goal is simple: give you a cockpit that lets you find your fastest shape, not just the one the catalogue shows.

Wide fork for modern wheels
The Tri is built around disc brakes and modern, wide-rim aero wheels:
• Wide fork blades and rear stays to comfortably clear contemporary deep rims.
• Geometry and stiffness aimed at feeling stable and predictable, even with big front wheels and gusty crosswinds.
• Clean, purposeful look that works with the wheel rather than fighting it.
Run your favourite deep-section wheels with confidence – no weird handling, no tight clearances, no compromises.
⸻
Fast where you actually race
The Roman Tri is designed with real courses and real conditions in mind:
• UK-style TT courses with rougher tarmac, roundabouts and broken rhythm
• Triathlon courses where you need to stay aero for long stretches without destroying your run legs
• Training miles in everyday British weather, not just blue-sky photos
Rather than chasing a single headline drag number, the Tri aims for a balance of aerodynamics, stability and rideability so you can stay in position and keep applying power when the road and weather aren’t perfect.

Who the Roman Tri is for
The Tri frameset is a great fit if you’re:

• A triathlete who wants a modern aero position that’s actually sustainable
• Upgrading from an older, awkward TT bike that’s hard to adjust
• Looking for a serious, race-ready TT / tri platform without going all the way to the very top of the range
