Cross posted from the iBob and 650b list, figured it would fit here also.
I picked this up with the intent of finding/making a padded insert to carry

Very nice, Tom! What size Sam is it?

Doesn't the Roadini use some of the same tubes as the Sam? And for the ones
that aren't shared, how do they compare with the equivalent Sam tubes? I know
a comparison like that, in addition to geometry charts, helps me to know how a
frame will ride and perform.

I've found that to be true in my case as well; I commuted for several years
year-round on 25's and 28's here in Indiana, and on most types of snow, the
narrower tire would cut through it and find some traction.

Awesome pictures,
This does make for an interesting question... So the Roadini has slightly
steeper (.5 degree, I believe) head and seat tube angles, the top tube is
baseball-batted in diameter, but does anyone know what the wall thicknesses are?
Not entirely indicative of sportiness, I know, but these stats are
I do, or use "Adam in Indiana" instead, to help differentiate me from the one

I'm curious about that rack... Is it a custom? It looks like a similar idea to
the Velo Orange I tegrated decaleur racks, but a bit more elegant.

I have a brand new set for a Campy drivetrain from a bike build tha
So without going too spendy (Phil/Chris King, etc), I was wondering what the
options for running a Campy drivetrain on a 135mm rear spacing are? I've heard
tell that Bitex offers their RAR12 with a 135mm axle and Campy freewheel, but
haven't been able to find it anywhere...
Anyone know of any
I'd put the White Industries hub up there in the "pricey" category as well...
The VO is better, but I suppose what I'm looking for is something in the $100
range... You can find good quality Shimano/SRAM stuff all day in that price
range, but Campy is a whole 'nother level, it seems.

Thanks for all the help, guys! My reason for asking is because I have a
lightly used Veloce groupset. I was kinda doubtful if the crankset would fit,
too...thanks for the info on that.

I've been looking at these tires as well... Been wondering how they compare to
Compass' offerings. Also wondering how much clearance the 48mm version would
leave under a canti Sam.
