bianchi volpe -question
 

purchased a bianchi volpe on e-bay. the seller wasn't sure of the year. i would like info on how to research this bike. forest green-shimano rsx rear der, front der, crank set rsx 46-36-26 this bike has new ultegra bar end shifters. i think the rsx components would give the year away but not sure. any thoughts or info would be greatly appreciated. thanks - make a great day!

This website might help you identify the year and month of the Shimano parts.

I tried to copy some of the info to my comment but the spacing was screwed up.
You'll have to go to the site.

RSX Cranksets w/ 26-36-46 were used between 1995-97. Scroll down for dates http://www.sheldonbrown.com/bbsize.html
