Link removed due to copyright issues..
:) I really like their GTR SL, esp. that it'll be both DI2#EPS and mechanical compatible, and also available as a disc frameset..

Thoughts anyone?

Also, notice the vintage range.. Columbus SL tubed lugged steelies.. I'd really like to see other classics as well, such as Columbus XCR modern steel frames or Ti frames as well..

Cento 1SR loses the ISP. I don't see myself ever owning an ISP bike again. I think this was a good move for them as it is too hard(impossible) to demo bikes with ISP.

progetto superleggera RAMATO (you have to scroll just under half way down to find it) WOW!
I'd ride that with mid 80s campag SR and some slightly lightened wheels and be quite happy...and I have quite a few serious race bikes to choose from!
Updated: Racing again! Thought this was unlikely! Eventually, I may even have a decent race!
Edit: 2015: darn near won the best South Island series (got second in age
-group)..woo hoo Racy Theremery is back!!

Slight digression:

I'm sure they're wonderful bikes (I know a few non-sponsored riders on them), but their typeface and graphics make me think unavoidably of Wilson tennis balls and cans: http://www.recsportshop.com/Merchant5/g ... 703a_l.jpg

Wilier logo is rather old and not a copy of Wilson in any case.
Wilier seems to be among the very few companies to keep their vintage-like calligraphic typeface and that is something really cool!

Wilier are good at leaking things like this - they posted a picture of a bike on there Facebook page last year with Super Record RS before Campagnolo even had a chance to announce it !

The Ramato copper dipped one is hot. It's really tempting to retire from racing and switch to touring on one of these, a master, or similar old slx tubed frame.

Yeah, they announced the Over-Torque crank way before Campag did as well.

If Wilier leak something it's definitely going to happen, but it doesn't always happen straight away...

IMO, the only nice looking ones are the dark on dark ones. All the others are pretty bad. Never ridden one, I'm sure they are great bikes, but they just look very dated.

It was actually the other way around once more. Campagnolo filed a patent for internal batteries and charging ports in 2007. But these kind of patents are impossible to enforce, at least in Europe. You simply can't patent a battery that has a port to charge it externally, no matter if it is for a bicycle, a tooth brush or a plane, there is simply no innovation in that.

These patents are used more like a way of making stronger a model registering.
