I bought an 06 Poprad a month ago. I too was looking at the Volpe, but personally I think the Lemond is a way better bike. It is quite a bit lighter, and has better components on it. It is a bit more money -- I paid $1200 for mine. The Volpe kind of felt clunky to me when I rode it, but that is just my personal opinion, I know a lot of people like them. I also like orange a whole lot better than pea soup green.
