I know both of these aren't made anymore but you can still find some old new stock at some shops. I have a wilier zero 6 in a small size and it weighs about 960 grams for frame fork and hardware...now I think the rca weighs almost the same...I'm very curious if anyone out there has ridden both bikes and assuming they are more or less the same weight and I know the cervelo is quite a bit more expensive...how do the rides compare?? That is my question...cheers. Joe

Both are great looking framesets (I just recently bought a 2015 RCA myself!) Fairly different geometries on those bikes though - which one fits you better?

I've never ridden the Wilier myself, but I believe the Wilier, whilst being in the same weight range as the RCA, is not an overly stiff frameset in comparison and has a max. recommended rider weight of 80kg. Tire clearance would be better on the Wilier vs. the RCA (room for 28s vs 25s). Both should climb like goats though by all accounts.

I have owned both. The RCA is a stiifer frame. I found the Zero 6 a little too flexy in the rear end.
