Well the box said "Speciale"

My Wilier Cento1.

XXL frame.

Just changed the handlebars to Evo SL
LW´s with tune qr´s
Complete Super Record Gruoppo.
Ritchey componentry


6.6 kg as pictured.

Tuning plans: Cutting fork, ZG Gravitas brakes. A Signature carbon stumpy ( I hope) and an AX saddle should bring it down to 6.1-6.2 ish
Also Ritchey logos on stem and stumpy will have to go.

It´s 100 grams heavier than my XXL Scott addict with the same setup although it has 10 speed record.

I blame the "speziale" paintjob which I really like.

Ride report... Well I´ve only got one ride on it yet. Felt good. Stiff front end.

Stiff front end.... With that huge stem?!?!

Lovely bike !

Classically modern! Very nice ride.

Although... you aren't fooling anyone with that "student" avatar when you start equipping your bikes with Lightweight wheels. :)

A question: can you order a custom color or this is a new paint scheme that isn't on their site yet?

That build is gorgeous! I love the proportions of the frame!

Great color choice, much nicer than the stock paint. When you say "any color" do you really mean ANY? I'd love to see a deep green!

Enjoy!

That is pretty cool. About to order a Lampre, though...can't wait that long for custom.
Using very similar parts, so I give it full approval.
Please do give a ride report once you've ridden at least 101 km (or miles).
