Professional cyclists demand perfection. Rolls team issue bicycles are designed and built by Ernesto Colnago and Marastoni. Many of the world’s greatest cyclists, including Eddy Merckx, Felice Gimondi, Patrik Sercu, Ole Ritter and the entire gold medal Russian Olympic Team have chosen these two men to build their bicycles.
We believe that this is an excellent reason for you to choose the Rolls.
Each Rolls is hand built (from frame to final assembly) in Bologna, Italy by craftsmen who truly love the bicycle Each model in the Rolls family reflects the Rolls philosophy of building bicycles to the highest standards in the world.
