Don’t get me wrong. I agree that a Roadini with 28mm tires, fenders, dynamo lighting, front low rider panniers and a not-huge saddlebag could make an awesome stealth S24O or weekend sport touring rig. I have no doubt I could pull that off.
The OP is in Galesburg. The bike I used to have stashed in a Galesburg garage was a 1992 RB-1. That was a stripped down racing bike and it was just dandy. It’s a nice 70-mike out and back to Oquawka, where you can dip your front wheel in the Mississippi River. A stripped down race bike is all you ‘need’ for that. If I wanted to get onto the gravel farm-roads, I’d want a little more floatation, I think. It depends on what the OP wants. Both the Sam and the Roadini are terrific. It’s easy to underestimate the touring capabilities of a Roadini and it’s easy to underestimate the pure road bike capability of a Sam.
