    She's Here! My new Wilier

    So here are the pics. I am NOT an accomplished photographer, so for now, this is the best I can do. It's a 2013 Wilier Gran Turismo with full 2013 Campagnolo Chorus (11-speed and a compact 34/50). The wheels are the mid-profile Campagnolo Eurus 2-way (I have Vredestein Tri-comp clinchers on it now, but like the option of tubless later) and I put one of my Selle Italia Ldy Trans Am (no longer made ) saddles on it. Shimano carbon Ultegra pedals.

    I took it out yesterday for the first ride and am in LOVE. It's just a great ride. I told them that I wanted it to be less aggressive than my Klein, but they set it up a little too relaxed, I think, so I'm going to ride it for a bit and then probably go back and get either a 0 degree rise stem (this one is about 35, I think) or maybe just flip this stem (which may make it too aggressive). I ride a lot in my drops and even in my drops, I feel a little more upright than I want. Also I think I may need to have the saddle set back a little bit.

    Don't make me go back to the computer repair place.

    Hot tea in my laptop I could explain. Drool, not so much.

    Beautiful! And I'm very envious of your Campy Chorus...had that on a bike years ago (the one I crashed on). That was a sweet group. Loved the shifting (also had a 34-50 compact).
