Pros to the Volpe are: 1) it will fit fatter tires, 2) easier to mount fenders, 3) steel fork is a little more durable for commuting. The Brava is lighter, better for club rides or centuries, but not as good for urban riding/commuting. I'm happy to share what I've learned about the shellacing process. It hasn't lasted as well as I had hoped. I don't know if that's due to the cork, or my application, or what.ajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15210140001069576193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348963856029562111.post-58899853004653140732009-11-17T21:53:21.992-08:002009-11-17T21:53:21.992-08:00wow, that's a sweet ride.
