Picked up my fabulous new bike on Monday....still cant believe I've finally got one :D

Its a 2012 WIlier Cento Uno, that was an ex-demo bike at Wilier UK importers ATB Sales in Hastings.

Its in fabulous condition and looks to have been ridden up and down the street a few times to get an idea of sizing, but not much else.

It's got a really rare paint job....I've never seen another one of these on the road in 3 years of riding.........it looks awesome and the photos don't do it justice, it really is stunning in the flesh......I love the colours, I'm really not a fan of the current "Stealth" trend for all-black bikes....

    Really great, very striking, love it..... I had a look at the ATB site and saw it was a "Team" bike and googled around to find out what that referred to and apparently it is Wilier/goselfdrive.com colours.

    Big like. As others have said it's such a good paint job. Shows how good a bike can look if someone is prepared to go for it and step away from the normal reds etc. Chapeau.

    Great bike, great spec etc. but just to show that we're all different, the colourscheme does not do it for me I'm afraid. Apologies.

    Dabber - thanks for the research - I too Googled it before I bought it, but found nowt.....your interweb fettling fingers are obviously more advanced than mine!

    Thebigdivide - this my third Wilier, I love 'em....had a 2010 Izoard for 2 years, then upgraded to a 2011 Gran Turismo which I had for 2 weeks before I saw this and just had to have it!

    You're welcome. I must confess I don't anymore about the team though. Anyway, I'm very envious but I'll have to stick with my Mortirolo for a bit longer.

    Beautiful looking bike! I love the colour scheme very very much! Different but not at all ugly... Campy super record too... very jealous!

    You should change the title to just 'My Wilier Cent Uno' - you don't want it getting mixed up with that Spiderman bike thing that they replaced the original with ;-)

    And get a chain catcher on as soon as possible - because if the SR front mech miss fires (which is not very often I must add) you don’t want a big scratch across the 'Oversized Bottom Bracket' decal - believe me - I know :-(

    Thegreatdivide- Funny you should mention that......one of the very few marks on the bike when I bought it was some chainsuck marks on the drive side chainstay, just behind the chainrings.....had to get some green paint mixed up at B&Q, plus a dab on clear nail varnish to cover it up!!!

    I think the SR in the title is referring to Super Record. OP nice bike and nice spec, the colour wouldn't be my choice but each to their own, very nice bike though.

    @thegreatdivide. The Cento 1 SR or the spiderman bike thing as you call it, is actually a very good frame. Yes, It's not the original Cento Uno, it's a development of the technology and Wilier moving on as other manufacturers do. Yes the original is a great frame but also not to everyone's taste. I could have got an original but chose the new version.

    Massively impressed with the OP's bike but with these wheels on it things just got better!

    Ah you see I prefer the OP's low pro wheels, each to their own I guess

    +1, the Mavics look like a dog's dinner, OP's is a smaller size frame too(?) which helps as bikes always look better in certain sizes. The black seatpost topper looks better. Neither one has a good looking saddle though.

    Love that nice one. Seen a couple in mallorca in that colour better in the flesh. I like the yellow one too.
