Rodano Disc
The Rodano is our endurance model. Combined with disc brakes and with increased tire clearance, the inherent comfort and stability is improved. A fantastic ride quality has always been the great strength of the Rodano. It is ideal for those who spend a lot of time in the saddle and love the ride feel that only steel can offer.
Description
We believe that steel is still the best material when it comes to making truly special, tailored frames. The Rodano is an expression of that belief. It’s a road model designed to combine performance and comfort with a modern approach. Following this concept, this version was developed for flat mount disc brakes and thru axles. It is a model particularly appreciated for its lightness, precise cornering and stability, further enhanced with the adoption of disc brakes and thru axles.
The steel tubing used stays true to the Stelbel tradition but at the same time takes full advantage of the latest technological developments. The custom tubing, made in collaboration with Columbus using double and triple butted tubes, is naturally welded with the signature Stelbel TIG technique.
Designed to meet and exceed the highest expectations of today’s rider and provide a level of performance and comfort that is second to none.
The head tube accommodates external headsets to match disc forks from 1 “¼ to 1” ½. Depending on the project and the customer’s requests, it is possible to combine the frame with forks from Columbus Tubi, Enve, 3T and WR Compositi.
The oval chain stay, which has a constant 30x16mm diameter, helps to increase the rigidity of the rear triangle, considerably reducing the loss of power transmission from rider to rear wheel.
On request, the frame can be made to take mudguards, a rear rack and also cabling to run a dynamo hub. The adoption of disc brakes combined with a plethora of customization options make the Rodano Disc an extremely popular choice for ultra-distance, bikepacking and audaxing.
As with all Stelbel frames, the Rodano is embellished with engravings on the head tube, bottom bracket and rear dropouts.
Each Stelbel frame is unique, exclusively made to measure and comes with custom geometry. You can send us a professional bike fit report or alternatively follow our instructions for completing our measurement form to ensure the perfect frame will always be designed.

Geometry
Each and every Stelbel frame is made to measure and designed with a custom geometry. After an order is confirmed and a deposit payment placed, the frame design will start based on the available information and documents (Measurements form, Bike-fit report, …). Customer will be interviewed to better understand riding style, wishes, goals and expectations for the new bike. A frame’s CAD drawing will be shared to be commented, analyzed, refined and eventually approved before manufacturing can start.
How to order
You can place an order directly with us via [email protected] or from one of our official retailer partners. An order is confirmed once a deposit payment is received via wire transfer or Paypal. Shortly after, a document providing an overview of the project details and a cad drawing of the frame will be shared for your approval. Pictures of the finished frame/bike will be shared with you prior to requesting the final balance payment. In case you’re considering coming to visit us in Bergamo to discuss the details of a project face to face, or to pick up your new frame/bike, you will be made very welcome by our team.
