Roadini has sold! To answer your question, Dan, I had hopes of building it as a semi-aggressive fat tire road bike but boy oh boy do Riv's have something to say to that. I had a 61cm Roadini in the past during a time when I wanted to build a Riv to ride it like a Riv and I loved it. But then I got into off-road riding so I hung up road bikes for a while...
Fast forward to 2022 and I got bit by the vintage crit frame bug and have been really enjoying road riding again. We also had our first kid so quick 20-30 mile rides close to home are ideal so I bought the Roadini 1 size down thinking it could still be quick but extra plush. Long story short me and the Roadini just don't see eye to eye at this particular junction. This time around, I didn't like how neutral it felt whether I was riding 8mph or 35mph, it felt underwhelming. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.
