I had a Volpe that was the other love of my life. No chain trouble but the chain came off when I did not replace the badly worn cogs soon enough and the derailleur hanger got broken. Costly to debraze and replace. I also kept breaking the rear axle every few thousand miles after the hanger accident until a friend gave me a set of track hubs and I had the rear wheel rebuilt with the track hub. Go for heavier duty parts if you are a big strong person who breaks things.
