For riding on any road surface with day-ride loads and probably drop bars, it’s perfect. Albatross bars run a close second. The Roadini gives up nothing to modern extreme bikes on smooth, ideal roads, and is far better in every way when conditions are crappy. It has way more tire clearances of the oldies, higher quality overall construction, is more comfortable, and rides like a Rivendell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBUILT FOR: Road riding of all kinds.

Steel allows pleasing proportions, and cannot fail suddenly (and is safe for that reason). Steel weighs more, but the frame weight is a tiny percentage of the rider+bicycle weight. Your Roadini frame should last you 30 years, maybe 50.
