I am looking at a bike on e-bay that I am interested in. It is a Bianchi Volpe and all the features on this bike are listed on the auction. It was well ridden and the brakes appear to be about half way gone. It is also a Reynolds "Cromoly" 520 frame. This indicates that an inferior grade of steel was used. That is my main concern as rust and other ailments could cause me problems more likely than if it were a better grade of steel. I was wondering if some of you could take a quick look and see if it is worth what he is asking for it. The new Bianchi's are out of my price range right now and I am looking for a good deal on a Volpe. That is while I humbly bow to the collective knowledge on this site.

Here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/Bianchi-Volpe-Re...6.c0.m14.l1318

Thanks for the help.

Joel
