I looove that cream color. That one is definitely on my list. Thanks for all the suggestions guys, I really appreciate it. :3
Again, I have a 2006 Volpe and many, many miles on its original components. However, I would recommend trying a Surley Cross Check. I'm sure other models would fit the bill too. When I tried them, the Cross Check came in a 54 and 56 cm range, while the Volpe had a 55cm. I went with the 55.
You just need to put bike fit first on your list and let the more cosmetic side play second fiddle.
