1998 bianchi volpe in the house.
60.00 at the coop. Before any work was done to it.
I absolutely didnt need this but it is my size. Full rsx component group. Rear wheel had a broken spoke but the mavic ma2 rims are perfect. My chance to rebuild 4 cross double butted with a dynamo front hub. 58cm touring bikes are a definite weakness for me! Anyone have any advice I should hear on this bike?

RSX is a great group. Snobs tilt their noses at it but it works fine and the shifters can be worked on easily if gummed up.
Those BV’s are great bikes. They have meant fans. What tubing is the frame?
