For me, being a "roadie" means riding roads, usually paved, on a bike similar to what is or has been used to race. Dropped handlebars. Derailleurs if the bike is geared. For 20 years all my miles were ridden on sewups. (Changed my ways with money and availability not making them feasible any more and clinchers improving.)
My latest two rigs are pavement/gravel bikes; ie bikes that are suited to all roads, not just paved ones. (A Raleigh Competition with frame geometry that looks like a racing bike of 60 years ago and my Mooney which is being fitted to ride this year's Cycle Oregon fix gear over its 45 miles of gravel.)
My favorite pure road bike is my custom fix gear; designed around the use of a flip-flop wheel and fast wheel turn-a-rounds like it was designed to race for real 120 years ago.
