I concur with Joe. It very much feels like a road bike to me. I used to own a late 80's Bianchi Eros. It was definitely a pure road bike. Everything was so skinny on that.. tubing, rim, tires, cranks.. Now I have a 2016 Raleigh Record Ace, a road bike as well. A month ago I picked up a Roadini frame because(a) it was on sale (b) I just love the looks of this silver bike with all shiny silver components. I sort of built it as a showpiece, but now I end up grabbing it for every other ride. It rides as lively as the other road bikes I have been on. Except, I feel like Roadini is a bit comfier. After riding Joe, Atlantis and Susie, it feels like Roadini can only run. It can't walk :)
