Bianchi Volpe? 2009

On vacation right now (wife and daughter with me...we usually drive to our vacations to her parents) and I came across a brand new never sold Bianchi Volpe at a LBS here where we are. I have read the reviews on the internet that these are little gems...but I want to know how have they held up after a couple years of use when commuting

Any thoughts?

The Bianchi should hold up fine. When I was looking at touring bikes/Cross bikes it was one of the ones I was going to check out, but the shop didn't have my size. They had a frame about a size to small, but I remember taking it off the rack and it was really light.

If its a good price and you have the cash then get it. If your wife has you vacationing with the inlaws than at least have something fun to do. <i'm joking, i'm sure your inlaws are fine people >
