I always liked this bike. Hard to find in my size. The color is nice and the overall appearance is clean. This one is to small for me and the paint is a bit chewed. No way to touch up pearlescent paint either.

I also pondered the use of the name Volare but for a different reason. Not many people would like to revisit the days of the Chrysler K cars. Although they helped pull Chrysler out of their near bankrupcy, the cars were boring, poorly made and had no style. Especially the Volare model.
