Anyone own one of these? I spotted it for £1100 online. Is this a good bike?

I'd go for one ahead of a Via Nirone for £900 ;-)Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos0

haha, thanks0

The Mortirolo is a good bike - I had a Via Nirone a few years back for my winter bike, good enough bike but didn't use it as much as I'd planned as I used my Kuota in all weathers, so sold it on. Also I prefer Campag - is there any way you could try the bikes out? If not, you need to decide whether it's worth £200 for the carbon option (or whichever one you think looks best)Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos0

It's a lovely bike to behold and ride. I found it a little undersized in terms of sizing due its rather compact geometry so make sure you swing a leg over it before buying. Whether the one you are looking at is worth £1100 will depend on a few factors, not least age.0

Its a 2010 and new. I tried a 55cm Bianchi on which was fine. This is a large - 56cm so should size ok.

If I wanted a wilier I'd find the extra for this http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/wilier-i ... 66077.html
The Italian bikes at that price are all pretty basic and weighty and can be beat performance wise but I think the wiliers in particular look very nice especially with polished aluminium campag.0 -
I've just placed a deposit on a medium!
Couldn't believe my luck when I found it with £700 off. Swung a leg over it a couple of weeks ago and loved it! Comfort wise, I preferred it to other bikes I've tried (inc. trek madonne, caad 10 and spesh tarmac!).
The fact that it's a 2010 model doesn't bother me one bit...I'm still grinning from ear to ear at my luck!
Not bad for a first road bike!!!0 -
Welcome the wonderful world of Wilier0

I've got a Mortirolo advertised as a Mirage kitted out bike.... in reality it has Mirage levers, Veloce chainset and rear derailleur, Record front derailleur. As a Mirage model it only came with Fulcrum R7 wheels, I think you will get R5s with the official Veloce model? £1100 sounds like a very good price.
As to my Mortirolo, I've had it about 7 months and I just love.“You may think that; I couldn’t possibly comment!”
