Wow! That looks like it's in great condition! Like you said, should be an awesome commuter. If you do decide to change out the bars (and stem), you may need to sand 0.2mm off the diameter of the...

That's the beauty of it! I consider my Gang Green 2006 Volpe an über-hybrid - it's pretty good at everything - it's not the fastest, but by no means slow. It's not the lightest, but by no means...

I shared several photos of my Kuwahara doomsday tourer-in-progress where the camera angle made it look like there was an ungodly amount of stem showing. Here's a more accurate photo showing that...
