Rouleur Live sees cycling’s biggest stars come together to discuss their season, the world’s best brands, and memorabilia from the history of the sport. For an iconic show, we've created a unique race bike.
The idea of the Super Acciaio was born in 2010. Designed for racing and training, we developed it with the world class riders of Rapha Condor. Steel provides a unique ride quality, spirited acceleration and dampens off rough tarmac. We were the first to add a tapered head tube for better balance and control in tight cornering, and a bigger downtube for stiffness. We worked alongside Columbus to use the best steel we could find to keep the tube walls thin and light without affecting the performance and ride feel. Ten years on and a few iterations and developments later, the Super Acciaio, with its UCI accreditation — one of only a few steel frames with it — is one of the most popular in the Condor range.
The Frameset
Available in eight standard sizes (46cm, 49cm, 52cm, 55cm, 58cm, 61cm), each frame is made from custom-drawn Columbus Spirit HSS triple-butted steel. We developed our tube shapes with Columbus to find the best balance of strength, stiffness and ride quality. The frame is painted in gloss cream with chroma rosso, adding contrast. Nicknamed a "flip-paint", the colour changing chroma rosso paint contains tiny synthetic flakes, about one micrometre thick, which interfere with the reflection and refraction of light, changing the colour as you move around the bike. Up front is a 44mm head tube fitted with aChris King Inset7 headset. A stainless steel Rouleur 'R' is brazed to the top tube and highly polished, while the dropouts have been etched with Condor + Rouleur.

For riders in search of a bike with individualised ride characteristics and that fits like a glove, you can purchase the frameset only or choose your components with us.
As with all our bicycle framesets and bikes, a full bike fit is included where we'll work with you to determine not just your frame size but handlebar shape, width, saddle position, reach and gearing.
