I have been waiting and saving (and procrastinating) for almost two years. My Mercian, which I built about 10 years ago was getting long in the tooth. (I am going to turn it into a cross/touring bike). The Wilier Izoard initially caught my eye. But then I read all the glowing reports about the Gran Turismo and finally saw it in person. I was immediately smitten. I waited for the right deal and got my GT for close to the price of the Izoard. I will send the 1st ride report ASAP
