"Romani
was a company
based in the town of Sala Baganza in the province
of Parma. It was a rather a big and well
respected builder. Established in 1924, the company had
its peak in the mid 1970s up to mid 1980s Surprisingly
you rarely saw many bikes with the Romani brand because
much of their production was third party frames.
Virtually any shop in the Parma/Reggio Emilia/Modena
area that had a shop brand but who did not build
in-house, would have bought from Romani. They also built
for many exporters. It is said that the two Romani
brothers were involved with the Colner production and
also had a collaboration with Colnago. Catalogs show
that Romani made frames of Columbus SL, SLX, TSX tubes
or Reynolds tubing. They closed down in the early 1990s.
