Mid 1990's Bianchi Volpe. Heavily modified street rat. I'll be making some upgrades with some of the components over the winter. Wellgo WR-1 pedals, Shimano brake set for starters. I am really digging the bullhorn handle bars. Came with a set of Mavic rims and a Mojo crank set.

NPV delivers jazz puke fueled by blast beats, while ZJ delivers a jazz-addiction mellow atmosphere. A nice shock treatment as a cure for jazz cabbage and other rituals.
