Wilier Izoard

not-another-hillǃ

Here's the finished product of my winter tinkering.....thanks to all the BR forum members for their suggestions (new saddle, red hoods etc)...



I know the American Classics are going to divide opinion, but I love the look of the them, they weigh less than what was on there before and the roll sweetly.

Unless I can find some black Record/Chorus brake calipers, I think I'm done tinkering.....roll on the summer weather

I'll be keeping an eye out for this in Trashford!
Looks awesome!

You've got a gap in your bar tape.


Does look superb though.

Great looking bike, I think the wheels make it stand out, nice touch.

Hoods n saddle - yes :-)

Good work chief!

looks great, I would change the calipers though - in for a penny........

drkawaszelong

your valve caps: one is red whilst the other is black? on purpose?!

He shouldn't be running valve caps at all. Nice Wilier that.

ride_whenever

nice but I can't handle the bluey white of the seatpost against all the yellowy white elsewhere...

1. Handlebar tape....yes, my first go at wrapping! :oops:
2. Valve caps....was trying both to see which looked better, red or black....I know, a bit tarty!
3. Black calipers.....got my eye on sone nice FSA K-Force ones
4. I know what you mean about the seat post...I think the photo accentuates it, but it is a slightly different shade....seen a Deda one I might go with, but the rest of the kit is FSA, so will try to find a new "whiter" one...

Thanks for the positive comments....looks and rides lovely!

First bike i've seen and actually thought "those AC wheels look good!" I really can't stand those wheelsets as the graphics in my opinion are awful but somehow you've made them look good, well done!

not-another-hillǃ

I know...the AC graphics are a bit "busy"....but the colourways just seemed to go nicely with the bike...I think some medium dish carbons might look ok too, but couldnt stretch to a decnt set, so this'll do for now....

Its heading up Alpe D'Huez in the summer so we'll see how she goes....

I said it before, but very, very nice looking bike!

That Wilier thing...I've got the bug. I get a lot of stick for liking them so much!

not-another-hillǃ

Not sure why you'd get loads of stick for liking them? Theyre a classic Italian marque, with heritage, and make some of the sexiest looking bikes out there.....oh, and theyre a blast to ride too!
