Welcome to the wonderful world of Wilier.

Top bike!

Blimey, that's a Wilier to start on! I had an Escape and moved up to an Izoard. You've really cut to the chase haven't you! Nice one.

cornerblock

Yeah quite nice. You'll be looking to upgrade soon I suppose?

Scrumple

Hell yes!

I was just thinking the wheels let it down (great wheels, but not on that thing)... Get the Mavics, they are £ for £ far better.

if riding a road bike doesnt work out for you I have an old hybrid I'd be willing to swap.

alexgomy

Cheers for the kind words. 1st ride out this morning. Going to take a bit of getting used to the stiffness especially coming from a mountain bike background. But i can sense a good summer coming.

It's a beauty, my previous comment was tongue in cheek, though it may not read that way. Happy riding.

I've always loved the colours on that bike, Love Wiliers aswell (except their latest TT bike) thumbs up from me!

Lovely handling bikes - you gonna keep those wheels on? I sure would change them asap imo .... I just think a frame like the CU deserves better wheels, but lovely all the same!

This is what I thought, what a way to make a great set of wheels look very out of place...

Beautiful!

If you aren't as fast as f*ck then you can't blame your bike

Agreed. They are just everyday wheels. Going to get some Cosmic Carbone SLR's hopefully in the next month or so. I'll re-post a pic once they are on.

love the look of the wiliers ive just sold mine but got a scott now. Wilier was by far the best looking bike i will ever own. Now got the scott which is boring looking in comparison. enjoy that.

mallorcajeff
