Wilier Petacchi - updated pictures

ashleymp777

Hi there,

Whilst not new to the BR forum, I am new to the 'Road' section as I've just bought the following bike.

I had the groupset replaced with Chours 11sp and I'll more than likely be replacing the wheels at some point in the very near future - nothing wrong with the components that are on there, it's just a personal preference thing.

The photo isn't great and I realised that the flat is a tip after being away with work for a week. So better photos WILL be coming up soon.

No, the MTB section. Although I do commute to work so I may have posted in there a while back.

Should I peel the illuminous stickers off the rims? I think I need to in order to tone it down a little.

I would. 'Less is more' in this case, I think.

ashleymp777

Yeh, I think they're a little too much!

I've come back this thread a few times and must confess the colourways are growing on me. Perhaps the Lampre team kit plus the yellow frame was why I wasn't a fan of Pettachi's Cento Uno in the peloton.

I'd also de-sticker the wheels, particularly the red bits. No red on the frame so why've they made a half effort at having custom decals made for the wheels. :?

It seems bizarre to say it, but when I picked it up on Saturday I wondered if I'd made a mistake. But actually they do grow on you and I have to say that i love it. I think this thread would also benefit from better photos which I'll take shortly.

The stickers on the wheels HAVE TO GO. Once I've done that I'll be much happier and it'll put the frame colour in a better light.

Yep, I agree. The bike itself looks really cool, just don't wear any Lampre kit when riding it (You wouldn't do that anyway, would you? )

God no! My kit will be kept as dark and brand/team name free as poss!

Lovely bike.

Need some of the Castelli Yellow Fluro kit to match.

The revolting stickers on the wheel have now gone and what a difference it makes. New picture coming up soon.

ashleymp777

Bit of an update - wheel stickers have gone, saddle and seatpost replaced. I just apologise for the SPDs - you can take the mountain biker out of the person........(sure that's not right but who cares)

ashleymp777

I wouldnt necessarily say so!
