Congratulations! I have a Volpe, too. It's a great bike, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

An '03 Volpe was my first real bike.
Although I think borrachobandito's comment was pretty crass, it does carry some weight.
Every single component except for the deraillers (with major maintenance) and cranks had to be changed out over its 3 year lifespan.
Yes, lifespan - only 3 years. The drive side dropout cracked at the chainstay - never wrecked.
I break lots of bikes though (this was my 4th frame - 2 italians, a Mainstreet pedicab frame, and the taiwanese Volpe). I was pretty happy with it for the price. It got me started into cycling - and car-freeness. Hopefully, yours will last longer than mine. Congrats.
