I have both the Roadini and the San Marcos. They are essentially the same frame in terms of design. The only difference is that the San Marcos can take 38c tires, and my 2018 Roadini only accommodates 35's. The San Marcos in my size also has the double top tube. I actually think that the Roadini is just slightly stiffer (less compliant). Owning both of these frames is probably redundant, but I use the San Marcos for gravel/dirt rides and long endurance stuff (brevets), and I have the Roadini set up to be a light and fast club bike. I would say that the Roadini is less compliant when riding fast and hard whereas the San Marcos is just too compliant when trying to stay with the fast group on steep hills and out of the saddle (rear end flexes rather alot, but, then, I am 6'6" tall and 205 lbs). I guess you could say that the Roadini is the frame for riding fast/hard as compared to the San Marcos.
