Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

New Bike , Wilier?

Anyone have one or ever even seen one in the USA? Thing looks great. Just wondering.
Who else is reading the new Bicycling Mag...The Buyers guide. That chick is smoking

seen quite a few round here and it seems to be a recent surge in wiliers i've seen. maybe i never noticed before, but that's unlikely since they look beautiful.

Local shops around me carry them, but never seen one on the road either. But feel like that's about to change. They are beautiful machines and have got loads of good press on them.

The shop I work for sells them and the boss personally rides a Cento 1 super leggera (stiffer model). My mate rides a Cento 1, and another colleague rides a superleggera. They (particularly the boss) could ride any Pinarello, any Opera, any Wilier, for free if they chose, but they all choose the wilier.
