BIANCHI VOLPE Touring bike. Circa 2007. In very good condition, minor rust on the chain. A few wear and tear scratches. Specs:

1. Rack and Fender Mounts: The Volpe had braze-ons for mounting racks and fenders, making it suitable for touring and commuting.
2. Geometry: The bike's geometry was influenced by both traditional touring bikes and cyclocross bikes, with a 72.5-degree head angle and a fork with forward rake, providing stable steering on the road and quick handling on dirt and gravel.
3. Component Level: The Volpe typically came equipped with Shimano drivetrain components and cantilever brakes.
4. Chainstay Length: The chainstay length of the Volpe was relatively short at 42.5 cm, which, while suitable for sport touring, might not be ideal for loaded touring where longer chainstays are often preferred for greater stability.
5. Versatility: The Volpe was designed to be versatile, allowing riders to easily switch between road and trail riding by swapping out tires. It could also be used for commuting, with its rack and fender mounts.
6. Steel Frame Construction: The frame was constructed using Bianchi's own steel tubing, with double-butting providing a stiff and efficient drive-train area.
7. Additional Features: The Volpe included features such as a pump peg on the head tube, front lowrider and rear rack eyelets, and slotted cable stops on the top tube for the rear brake. The price is negotiable. Make an offer. The bike comes with a lot of accessories, such as: female designed gel seat (super comfortable), front mounted storage bag, gloves, helmet, lights, seat lock, bike lock, puncture repair kit, tool kit, puncture proof tires, rear mount mud guard, wall mounted rack, women's padded bike shorts. You can have all of these or pick and choose for a negotiable price. More photos available upon request.
