BTW, nice bike. I haven't ever tried a Wilier but that's because I haven't found a local dealer. Speaking of which... you live in Maine and don't have an Aegis? shame on you!

Wilier frames are hard to find stateside (I don't know of any local shop that carries them from here to NY), but I do love the frame. MUCH more comfortable than my previous frame (Klein Quantum -pre-carbon stays), acclerates like a cheeta on speed and it is fantastically light!
I know, I know...I think Aegis makes incredible frames, and they were a strong consideration for me, but I couldn't pass up the deal I got on the Wilier.

Agh, Just wanted to edit my previous post, but the forum won't let me.
Here is the bike with some new cranks. Going to give the FSA Carbon cranks a try.

Gee Wizz, After checking out some of the pics posted, I wasn't sure if I should even bother getting around to posting a pic of mine. So of you gents and ladies have some very sweet rides. I'm insanely jealous.

Steelman SR525. Looks very much like the one in this pic (same paint and decal colors) minus all the Shimano junk (Record 10 + Sirocco wheelset for me thanks).

Nice, I always love seeing Rolf’s anodized rims on the road. Bontrager’s blue rims just don’t seem to hold a candle to them.
