Some eight years ago my faithful Miyata 100’s (one for touring, another for commuting) both had to be retired.Tourer’s rear end was bent irrepairably out of shape, commuter’s head-tube snapped.

I found a Bianchi Volpe and rebuilt it with wheels and parts I wanted (now my commuter). Then a Bianchi Lupo came along (same frame as the Volpe), now the tourer. Then this year I found a 2nd hand Volpe Disc and as I had so many spare parts, built it up - not sure why, but well, because

Thing is, the fit is absolutely perfect.
