[RBW] ROADINI

Cross post from Facebook... Finished building up a Roadini for my wife. Her first comment upon returning from a 200 yard test trip down the road: "It’s really smooth and not twitchy. And I sit more upright…I think I like that." Here are some of the highlights: -Roadini 50cm frameset in Grilver
