I built up a 57cm Roadini to be my commuter bike/roadish riding bike. I
have an Albatross out front with an X-Small Saddle Sack. In the rear, I
have a Mark's Rack with p-clamps for the lower struts. I attach my bag with
the Frost and Seker quick release. With ten pounds or so, it rides really

If the budget permits, I'd say, MIT Homer is worth considering.
Last week I took one for a spin when I visited Riv HQ to pick up some
accessories. It felt as light and nimble as any other steel road bikes
I've ridden. Also as comfortable and smooth as my Rivs.

Hi Patrick,
Maybe the Roadini is not a good option if you like that front load? It
doesn't come with dedicated eyelets for a front rack, so you'll have to be
creative in figuring out how to carry that 10-15 lbs. It does have rear
rack eyelets, fender eyelets, and will fit most 32mm tires and a
Patrick, I'd hesitate saying "10/15lbs up front and ride in all types of
weather" would be OK on a Roadini from my experience.
I have a Rambouillet, connect by lineage to the Roadini when you consider
it was for the riding uses below the capacities of the Atlantis before
there was even a Sam o
Back in my late twenties (in the early eighties), I commuted to work on a
fenderless full Campagnolo Masi Gran Criterium. I did not allow anyone to
pass me on the bike path. A commuting bike is whatever you want it to be.
If you want to commute on a Roadini, go for it.

I ride in the sun, rain and sometimes snow and pretty much everything in
between (I live in Quebec, Canada). One of the main attractions to the
Roadini is also its price. USD to CAD exchange rate + shipping + brokerage
fees would be just too much on a Sam for me at the moment.
Good points all

Although my normal commute is via a Rivendell (Hunq or Bleriot), I'll often
take one of my road bikes ('73 Pugeot PX-10 or Moots) and they work fine.
Couple of caveats, though:
a) I load my clothes and other items in a backpack, not in a pannier;
b) My route is entirely on pavement; a
I'd say go for it. I commute on all my bikes, and I can usually get away
with riding my stupid-aggressive road bike with carbon fork and no
braze-ons whatsoever to work when I use my sackville bar tube and
roadrunner wedge half frame bag. I am interested in a Roadini myself, and
imagine my Make
Whats wrong with p clamps?

Nothing is altogether wrong with P clamps, I just see them as an inelegant
solution both visually and in concept.
