Cento Uno has arrived

[CippoForLife]

Thanks to Jedi-Sports, my new baby is here in under 6 weeks!

Based on how long it took to build up the Velo Vie, this should be ready in about 7 months.

Actually, this time I already have the build mostly chosen...the parts are here, so could be done by next week

Oh, and weight was predictable high...gotta love those Italians!

The box arrives:


So cocky, those Italians...they put "2008 World Champion" on their packing tape:


The bike:


You like?

[Powerful Pete]

Indeed. I like.

As a cocky Italian, I say you have made an excellent choice.

[kgt]

I like the lampre color more and more!

[TheBugMan]

Wish I was in your shoes CippoForLife, lots a great projects.

[Tinea Pedis]

Well done!

The missus saw this as I was looking at it and wants a Wilier all over again

Lovely bike!

[ww4]

me like it a lot, can't when its all build up

[coloclimber]

Great- whats the builds list and weight?

[kgt]

Size and weight please?

[CippoForLife]

My GF is also a huge fan...she's actually a designer, and has let me know in no uncertain terms that since this is the nicest bike EVER, this will also be my last purchase for a while

Anyways...size is an XL for my looong legs, and the tall headtube and relatively short toptube both work for me...this is basically what I would order in a custom bike, which is awesome.

Weight was about 1200 grams. High, but that does include the integrated BB cups, which I intend to use, and the ISP, stubby aside.

Here is the build list, though I'm always up for suggestions:
- Super Record group
- M5 brakes with Reynolds pads
- Reynolds SVD66T wheels with Vittoria Paves
- Selle Italia SLR Kit Carbon
- Ritchey Classic bend carbon bars
- Either Ritchey WCS UD carbon stem or Rotor S1, depending on the length I settle on.

I expect the weight to be in the mid to high 14s, but judging by the tubes on this baby, she will be STIFF!

Oh, just one question...how do I get a seatpost clamp for OS carbon rails...Samu?

Here are some pics...Enjoy!

Chainstays are soooo sweeet!:

[kgt]

Reynolds look totally out of place. Be careful with such a beautifull frame!

[prendrefeu]

I'd *love* to see this frame without any of the decals, slogans, or branding. Just a clean, bare frame...

[Redddraggon]

Are the Cento 1s made in Italy?

[CippoForLife]

Ok, for all those who would keep this an all-Italian affair...



As for country of origin, I'm not sure, though there have been rumours of Wilier outsourcing their high end carbon to a small Italian producer.

Finally, use the search function to find pics for a cleaner Cento Uno...there is a beautiful custom red one on this forum.

Ritchey sells a WCS Alloy 1-Bolt Clamp Kit in both a carbon Selle or carbon Fizik version ($17.95).
If you live in Canada though, their web shopping site does not accept Canadian orders - I had to order a whole new stubby seat post from my lbs as the clamp kit was not listed in any Canadian bicycle part distributor catalogs yet.

[CippoForLife]

Thanks for the tip.
Good to know it can be ordered - I have family in the States, so no big deal, though that is frustrating.
Might try to find a lighter version, though.

Oh, and I think the oldest wheels in the shed might be the choice...Reynolds DV46Ts already taped with Veloflex Carbons.
