anyhow! got the JANDD Extreme and Expedition racks on the Bianchi Volpe, as well as some new Shimano M530 SPD pedals, looking slick!
Ortleibs for the rear come later in the week.

got my 110mm 10? Thomson X4 stem, the Chris King 1 1/8 2Nut Conversion, and my M770 XT 11-34 cassette. it’s finally starting to look like a bike! figured i’d get a little more progress up, since i’ll be heading off to PA again come tuesday, wheelset ordering / building when i get back! 😀…
(better pics sometime after the rain lets up haha) I haven’t written much about this bike yet, I’m not sure why that is, maybe it’s because I’m uncertain about a number of facts. Namely the year it was built and the model designation. Scapin is a small Italian firm that still hand builds gorgeous bikes,…
just a short update, racks, bags, and pedals for the Bianchi Volpe tourer build are all in the mail… you’ll get pics when i get muh stuff! 😉 -peter
i when i found this complete prewar straightbar on craigslist.org for the right price and only 25 minutes from my house, i had to jump at the opportunity. this is how it looks now, i have a lot of plans for it, but for now, i’m just going to enjoy it 🙂 -peter
so, just got the Volpe back from the powder coaters, colors more olive than i thought, but i still like it. got bored and cleaned up the headset and bottom bracket faces to install the two parts i had sitting around 😉 more as it get it, -peter
haha, watering can get boring… and that’s a very small patch of grass that my lawn actually has around out lime tree, you have to water the lime tree, 😉 -peter
