Serotta 63
a Recreational Rider
from Date Reviewed: May 22, 2010
Strengths: high quality- looks great and feels great. I like the stiffness - perfect.Weaknesses: So nice - I worry that I might scratch it..Bottom Line: 2010 Model- White and Red paint-- XXL size. Built it up myself. Easy to cut the seat post -- specially if you know your crank to seat height. Great ride and handling, corners like it is glued to the pavement, ride is very similar to my Serotta Legend Ti - Wonderful. At first I thought why spend so much $$$$ but then you ride it and you say -- best buy I have ever made.

Strengths: Geometry. Super stiff rear and front. Italian good looks ;)Weaknesses: Price and perhaps clearcoat/paint quality.Bottom Line: Would give all 5's easily, but "value" rating is asked here, and there is no "value" in any frameset over 3K.
Been on many bikes, but this is my fav so far. Spot on geometry for me (key). Super stiff front end with the squared 1.5" lower head tube, great fork, integrated BB94 cups, integrated seatpost and trick chainstays. Very responsive rear with the compact triangle and the Mitsu 46-ton carbon (Toray for the rest). Jumps instantly to pedal power (overused phrase I know, but true). Rear feels like my other bike (Cervelo Soloist Carbon), but front is stiffer and descends better - absolutely laser straight on the first apex you try. Still manages to be smooth with the right tire choice/pressure. First race bunch sprint after 100K and I was never beat up, sprinted well (and nabbed 2nd) completely happy with my purchase.
WAY too many comments about the bike though (a good or bad thing, depending upon your perspective) as it is quite a great looking machine in person. Photos don't do it justice for sure.

Strengths: Responsive, comfortable, fast, incredible looking, Italian heritage, new technology, very few in the US.Weaknesses: Make sure you use a certified Willier dealer like Uranium that knows what they are doing when cutting the integrated seat post.Bottom Line: I purchased my 2009 Cento Uno in May from Uranium Cycles in Moab, UT which was great for 2 reasons. First, the customized service was fantastic and second, what better area to ride a new bike than Arches and Canyonlands. The bike is amazingly stiff, but dampens the road chatter. It is a climbing machine and very precise on the decents. My previous bike was a Colnago (another great Italian bike), but the Willier was better in everyway (except Colnago still has the best paint jobs).
Favorite Ride: Willier Cento Uno
Purchased At: Uranium Cycles, Moab
Bike Setup: Willier Cento Uno, White/Red, Campagnolo Super Record 11, Sella Italia SLR Gel, Time Carbon TI Pedals, Ritchie WCS Stem and WCS Carbon Bars, Fulcrum Racing 1 Wheels

Strengths: Extremely confidence inspiring. Light, stiff and so stable.Weaknesses: None in comparison with any other carbon frame. There are smoothest steel or titanium frames maybe.Bottom Line: This is a great frame. It has this ride quality that very few carbon frames have. Classic geometry, light, stable, stiff but not harsh, responsive. Even if it weights around 950 gr it is so stable at descents and at high speed that you thing you ride a top steel frame of the past. When you climb though you come back to 2009. Its 1directional finish looks fantastic. It is the frame for the 100 years of Wilier and there is a reason for that.
Favorite Ride: around Athens...
