Crankarms are also not lined up with the seat tube and pedals are not at 3 and 9. And goodness me, I can see valve stems. Horrendous.

bon_gabs 07-01-10 03:31 PM

OhioBuckeye 07-01-10 04:35 PM

Holy mother of pearl. I just checked out that site and the prices for the wheels. wow.....

rushbikes 07-01-10 04:44 PM

Sick! Am considering getting a Cento1 as well. Were you considering other bikes or did you know you wanted the Wilier?

tagaproject6 07-01-10 04:48 PM

Remedial training on proper BF bike porn pics is in order!

dstrong 07-01-10 04:49 PM

Are those chainstays assymetric or is it just an illusion?

Very sexy.

JohnDThompson 07-01-10 05:58 PM

Is Wilier still made in Italy?

bon_gabs 07-01-10 07:02 PM

I actually dont know about this brand and really wanted madone 6.9, until I saw it in a magazine,then search about it. Im lucky I found twohubs.com,,then deal is awesome...

You picked one hell of a bike to stumble into...

catonec 07-01-10 07:40 PM

super hotttt

Yaniel 07-01-10 07:43 PM

this screams shill to me. he "found" twohubs, which is located in Lake Forest, California, in Orange County just like the OP. nice bike either way.

Yaniel 07-01-10 07:46 PM

not to mention they're priced the same as competitive cyclist, which isn't exactly the cheapest place to buy from. I guess I'm missing the "greatest deal on earth" part.

OhioBuckeye 07-01-10 08:35 PM

My question is why would I drop big bucks on what is in that picture when one can drop 2k for a comparable entire bike from bikesdirect: http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/...spirit7900.htm

I'm actually planning on maybe getting this bike spring '11 so Im curious to hear what others say. At 15.75lbs its the same price as your $2000.00 wheels.

It sounded shilish to me, and it looks like they have another one of them right next to it. But I guess it could very easily be his friends orbea, like he said.

bon_gabs 07-01-10 10:04 PM

Honestly I dont have any association with twohubs.com,Im just a regular happy customer that wants to share my great experience with the owner,It so hapenned that they are located almost the same area and a dealer as well,,I respect anybody opinions,,

Here you go for the benefit of the doubt,,together with my training partner orbea..
