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

Hot Wilier. If I had to pick a nit, it's be the ".com" on the chainstay - bush league.

Excellent example of white saddle, white bar tape, misc white decals.. mixed with mostly black frame/wheels.. combo allows viewer to follow the white accents on the bike and the contrasting black frame.. just gotta turn that crankarm slightly forward.

^^ Wilier - best of both worlds. It's black but not boring, it's white but easy to keep clean (except the bar tape good luck with that lol).

Hot.

Yes. It's actually rather festively formal looking. Not what I'd go for in a bicycle myself, (not the frame style or group I'd go for either) but it's very nice in its way.

For me, it is the tiny amount of red accents on the bike, from the computer to the skewers to the logo on the tire. It looks really well thought out and put together. I see the tiny bit of red on the top tube which of course ties it all in.

Willier is very nice though the top tube looks like the bike has rear-ended a car! Half a point deduction because the front tyre logo doesn't quite line up properly with the valve!
Carbon wheels look good without huge logos plastered all over them. Nice subtle touch too is the Garmin (?) in red to match the few red highlights on the frame.

Hate the gumwall. Doesn't look good on a modern road bike imho. A tire with some color in it is fine, but the gumwall just looks old fashioned, weird mix.

Really nice bike, but the color scheme and deep section wheels just don't do it for me.

definitely gumwall. 9.0/10
seatposts look low , proportionally speaking (of course, cant be helped unless bike runs 650b)... and brake levers dwarf the whole bar
but overall well executed

650c would work better on a small road bike

I dig skin walls and am glad they are back. I dislike the look of black walled tires. I'm an old BMX'er and the saddest day was when all BMX went to black wall in the late 90's.




Long live the skin wall!
