I have Joe A that I set up with racks, dyno lights, fenders and it is my commuter bike. Loved it from day one. I ride it 5 or 6 days a week. I had a Trek Domane 2.0 that I used for weekend speedy rides. It felt a little small, and compared to my Joe A it was obviously not nearly as comfortable, but it was light and fast and I liked that part. I was deciding between a road-build Sam or a Roadini.
Will told me the Sam was pretty close to my Joe A, and might not be "different" enough to feel like a different ride. He was right. My Roadini arrived several weeks ago. It is exactly what I wanted it to be, no extra stuff bolted on, just their recommended wheels and brifters with a 3x10 setup Light, comfortable and fast. My Trek and Joe are 58's, My Roadini is a 61. I ride it every chance I get. I would get it again in a second...it is perfect. The Trek is up for sale, never to be ridden again. The Roadini is just too smooth, comfortable and fast (enough for me).
