I have RSX on my Volpe, too. What a coincidence!

I bought the bike in December and only recently started riding it. I'm falling in love. I love it when I get a mid-range bike which looks boring and barely acceptable and it turns out to be the best thing around.

The shifters didn't work at all until I poured lots of lubricant in. The previous owner of the bike never lubricated anything. Now that I mention that, I should probably overhaul the bearings!
