Thanks. I actually saw that ad, and was wanting to use Deore, but rear spacing on my frame is 130 (2008 Volpe). If I could find the CR-18s laced to Tiagra or 105 hubs, I'd be a happy camper...er......

Bianchi Volpe. It has that flat spot in the top tube to rest on your shoulder. I've carried mine six floors up without taking the front wheel off. Also haul it over snowbanks in the winter ;-)

Thank you

A very kind offer. I think from reading all the replies to my post that the frame actually should take a 25 - 25.4 seatpost, which I can locate easily (and probably locally).

Thanks everyone
