Hello all:

Altho I've made a few posts since I joined the conversation six weeks ago, I've not formally introduced myself or my ride as I've been waiting for a new Enve 3.4 wheelset w/Tune 70 & 170 hubs and some other upgrades. The wheels aren't here yet, so I'll go ahead now and show the 'before' and post the 'after' when I get all the changes installed and tested in several weeks.

Some background: I live in flat central Ohio and have ridden (never raced) for recreation/fitness for 45 years (I'll be 60 next summer when I retire). I try to ride, weather permitting, 3 days a week for 2+ hours at about 20 mph if by myself. I'm 5'-7" and weigh ~155, although it seems my height is shrinking and my weight is increasing w/age. I bought the Cento Uno last summer, having ridden a 753 Eddy Merckx the past 18 years. I wanted to try carbon fiber w/an ISP. I had already upgraded to DA 7900 and MV32UL wheels the previous summer, having ridden tubulars for 20+ years w/great success.

So, the bike as shown is 14 lbs, 3 ozs. Here's the build list:
Frame: Wilier Cento Uno w/integrated Ritchey WCS carbon headset
Rims: Reynolds MV32UL-tubular
Hubs: Tune 70/160 (black), 24 (f) and 24 (r); DT Comp. spokes (white)
QR: Zipp titanium aero
Tires: Continental Competition (22mm.)
Gruppo: Dura Ace 7900
STI shifters/brake levers
brake calipers w/SwissStop yellow king pads
front derailleur
rear derailleur w/Enduro ‘zero’ ceramic pulleys (red)
crankset, compact
cassette (12/27)
chain
Cables: Yokozuna Reaction (white)
BB: Enduro ‘zero’ ceramic bearings
Stem: Ritchey WCS Carbon Matrix 4-Axis w/carbon weave finish
Bar: Ritchey Superlogic Carbon Evolution
Seat: Selle Italia SLR Kit Carbonio Flow (white)
Stubby: Ritchey WCS, 25mm setback
Pedals: Look Keo carbon titanium
Cage: Speedplay Nano
Bar Wrap: Deda Elementi, carbon-look (white)

The pending upgrades to get a bit more aero but not increasing overall weight are:

Enve 3.4 rims laced to Tune 70 & 170 (black) hubs w/CX-ray (black) spokes; red outline decals
KCNC full titanium cassette (11-23)
KMC X10SL (gold) chain
Woodman IT seat mast topper
Tune DC14 (red) skewers
Tune carbon cage

The black spokes and red/gold features will give the bike a different look...

Cheers to all!

Nice and sweet upgrades coming. I am not sold on either the gold look or any claimed functionality benefits but hey its what is in fashion.

Nice bike.

How do you find it vs. the old steed?

The old steel steed was/is a classic, IMO, w/the Merckx 'century' geometry and exquisite lug work and detailing. I'm riding it now as I wait for the Wilier's new wheels: albeit ~ 20+ lbs, not as much a ride difference from the 14 lbs Wiilier as I thought before I got the Wilier. Not sure I sense any difference with the ISP. The Wilier is beautifully balanced and very responsive given my riding style and limited abilities. And it is very comfortable. But so is/was the Merckx, which I had down to ~17 lbs w/Vuma Quad cranks and the MV32 wheels. All in all, as much as I'm totally satisfied w/ the Wilier, the Merckx still got'it...
