Hey just wanted to put in my two cents on the Volpe. My girlfriend grew tired of me always getting to have fun on my Surly LHT and on a whim bought last years purple Volpe from a local bike shop. I was able to get it with a honey brown brooks for $900 out the door. A month later without ever riding more than 50 miles at once she rode from San Fransisco back to LA with me in 7 days. The bike was perfect and now she is in love with it and commutes daily in Long Beach on it. Plus its tough and looks good

Looks like it will do pretty well for the front end load at tazza d’oro before a morning of cool mist and damp trails.

I have an 09 Volpe. Bought it for commuting. Owning it taught of me the existence of Cyclocross, and now I race every year. (Which is a big deal since I don’t have a competitive bone in my body.)

I just found this blog completely independent of this post but I just ordered a Volpe from my LBS. I can’t wait. I will be putting 28mm Hardcase tires on but I’ll keep the knobby ones in case I do any trails. Is that the stock saddle?

Nice bike! A classic by now, and a perennial favorite of Sheldon Brown’s. Salsa Vaya, Salsa Casseroll, Surly Cross-Check, and All City Space Horse all in the same vein as this bike (that is, production, steel, Taiwan-sourced all-rounder bikes).

I would love to see an article detailing the bikes behind the people that are behind Urban Velo. Sorta like a stable show and tell or something.

Fyxation Mesa pedals. They're my own, they didn't come with the bike.
