I briefly had a Roadini a few summers back. I really like the proportions of it--the tall head tube, long (but not too long) chainstays, but I wouldn't consider it a sporty road bike. The vintage Treks I've had have felt considerably sprightlier. To me, the Roadini felt more like an old school touring bike: long, stiff, stable.
