They look like V-brakes to me. You can see the noodle in the front cable line. And, a side pull doesn't easily work in the rear because of the cable routing to the brake arm with the housing stop. That Saddlesack would get in the way. I don't recognize the brakes -- TRP? Same ornate seat

Totally! Which is exactly what I'd hoped for. I don't know what the tubing is on the Roadini but I imagine this is similar, maybe one step up in wall thickness. Normally I'd want 650B in my size but since I can "size up" more comfortably with the curved top tube, the 700c will be proportional.
