But they're artists not craftsmen. Plus, it's not really nice is it, let alone art? I like the bum hole behind he seat post
Ha.
It is a works of art to me, incredible skill to do that and come in at that weight. I really like it and the fact it goes against the grain.I do not own one.
I sdee what you did there
I do genuinely like it though.
Can you think of a better trojan on an Autumnal ride?0 -

It looks like they did their research. Named after the Peregrine Falcon.0 -
Tks for the link. Gorgeous bikes. The big brands have millions for R+D and tons of people and still cant produce anything as nice.
Relatively very cheap as well.Contador is the Greatest0 -

No probs. It looks like they just had the capital to follow their dream. I am not a massive fan of carbon, but they do look good, like the logo too. Seems they do/did TI as well.
That's the time to get them when they are establishing the brand, price wise.
I bet they will be happy now they have been immortalised by the Gear threads:-)0 -

I think that's beautiful actually.
I much prefer the wooden Wilier Cento Uno from a few years back

That one's a bit busy on the eye!0 -
Yes, too many logo's spoils the look. Just the Falco logo and the peregrine falcon image on the cross tube, with plain wheels.0
-
The Falco bikes look crap and cheap IMHO. I wouldn't buy one. But then I am very 'brand aware'.0
-
Love it.

That looks better, but it's still a generic Ti frame with cheap lettering. Or am I being harsh?0

I reckon harsh if you read the WW thread linked to. It goes through the process. Mind I am talking only style and have no idea how they ride.Contador is the Greatest0 -
Never heard of this brand. Aimed at rich Americans who think they are buying Italian heritage I guess.Contador is the Greatest0 -
Do not like the red in this frame. Wish Wilier would use more colours.
