When I test rode, the 49 was too big for me...and often I can at least ride 49.
Anyway I hope you're wrong cause it's already on the way...!!!

Sounds like maybe you did get the right size for him. Your'e right, my DH is kind of 'stretchy'. :p

I hope it's a hit! Post photos!

It's supposed to arrive Thursday. He gave us clipless pedals, cleats and I asked for an adjustable stem...he threw it all in.

We'll see if it arrives in good condition (uh oh UPS) ...and if it does I would recommend this seller...who has quite a few higher end bikes for decent prices.

I'm excited. NOw we'll have matching quality bikes...I think the Volpe and the Aurora are pretty close in that dept.....

Hey is this the green Volpe whose color is called "Gang Green"????
If so- I've always LOVED that! :D

Yes...Gang Green..awful name, nice color!


and fyi ...here's a conversation about Volpe sizes that helped me decide on a 58...just for your reading pleasure...;)
