NBD 1996 Bianchi Volpe

New bike day for my wife! She got a 1996 Bianchi Volpe, and it’s a nice one!

Owned by a recently retired, long time bike shop employee who is “thinning out the herd”.

It’s just about the cleanest used bike I’ve ever seen!

Thanks! She went for her first ride on it today and she loved it!

Here’s a few more photos.

This style of the Volpe was my fav. The bike oozes price performance vibes.

Tange infinity tubing, RSX triple, all the mount points, time for a cross country bike tour... or at least down the west coast.
