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.

I just found a couple of rare recordings I had lost in the vaults. I was asked to sit in on bass with the Blood & Bone Orchestra at the Mez in Rochester NY in May 2008. It was an honor subbing in for these gigs when their bass player couldn't make it. Some of the best shows I've ever played.
