I'd not be at all surprised if even the Roadini has thicker tubing than your Rambouillet. If that's true, the Roadini will not only be heavier, but noticably stiffer. If you're sensitive to a stiff bike, I can see you preferring one or the other on that basis alone. (I dislike stiff frames. Others prefer them. Most don't care.)
