Wilier Izoard XP 2013

My new bike! After months of research I went with my heart rather than my head! There were better spec bikes out there for the price but none that looked as stunning IMO.



Unfortunately my phone is incapable of taking decent pictures, let alone one that will do it justice, I'll try and get some better ones at some point!

Great bike, Ive got the 2008 /9 model and shes still going strong, so comfortable for those long days in the saddle, and absolutley flies when the need arises

Nice bike Richard....dont worry about sad detractors on here....Wilers are gorgeous to look at, comfortable to ride, and wherever in the world the sum of their parts may come from these days, they have a great Italian heritage some brands can only dream of....

As an earlier poster said, Welcome to Club Wilier.....its in your blood now....

I hope you're enjoying your Wilier. I've rode different versions of the Izoard over the years. Never moved on to another brand; stuck with it since the first time I had my first one around 2007. Comfortable to ride on and very quick. So congrats on your choice.

This one's my present Izoard XP 2013. I've changed the stock wheels to FFWD F6R clinchers. Adds on to the blink.

Nice. They hoops work very well.

Best decision. If we all bought bikes that were purely functional with no soul or panache we would all own Treks and Giants. How boring would that be? Italian styling will always have that bit over the rest for pure desirability.

Better to buy a bike that looks good - you can upgrade it later! You can't upgrade the looks of a bad-looking bike...
