But I don't think all bikes in this category are clunky. The Bianchi Volpe is often compared to the CC and is a better feeling bike IMO. My girlfriend didn't like the CC, but thought that the Volpe was livelier.
LOL! You are correct, Sir! You are also correct about the Volpe, or at least the modern ones. I have a 2006 that is on permanent loan to a friend recovering from back injuries and who has turned into a kickass SS rider. The Volpe does feel a little more spry. The angles are a little more roadie and it is a bit lighter. However, the Volpe is no longer made. I was actually referring to the models we have been discussing here, which are very similar to the Cross Check.
