Nice! 2016? I have been looking for a GTR SL in yellow to go with my 2011 GT, but no yellow in US. Hope you enjoy the beautiful bike!
That's a GTR Team btw. Yes it's 2016. Loving the ride so far. Got a bit of a chain rub issue on the FD but I put it down to cable stretch. It's everything that the brand is and the review says. Couldn't ask for more. Good luck with the yellow hunt!

Beautiful bike, and I'm considering one myself. Can I ask whether you got the one with the endurance geometry or the one with the racier geometry (apparently the both the Team and the SL are offered in both).
 
Ive used these forums for great information for years but have yet to post until today. I have a 2016 Wilier Twin Blade w/ Dura-Ace Di2, Sram Quarq PM with Rotor Q-Rings, Cobb Fifty-Five saddle, and HED H3D rear/Stinger 6 front wheelset.
I'll post a pic as can get to laptop.
I love the bike. For one... It's looks pretty badass! I get compliments and questions everywhere I take it. It's way more comfortable than the Speed Concept I used to ride. In the wise words of John Cobb... "Comfort=Speed." Nothing could be closer to the truth. Its not as light or stiff as the Speed Concept but after getting it dialed in a bit... I averaged faster speed immediately.
The only issue I have with this bike is that it's, hands down, the most frustrating bike I'ver ever had to work on and maintain. For example... If you want to change the cable housing to rear brake and use compressionless (the only option if you want any kind of braking power with the TRP TTV rear brakes) you must tear the entire cockpit and front fork assembly to fish the stiff housing through the frame. There are no seperate routing holes in the down tube so this can be very time consuming and frustrating. Other than that... I love Wilier's and am looking at buying another.
 
I have a 2010 Wilier Mortirolo Carbon frame that I just bought to build my first road bike with all Italian parts: Campagnolo 12-speed Chorus groupset, all Italian cockpit, and Campagnolo Zonda wheelset. I have hit one little hiccup thus far--the rear brake caliper mounting bolt and nut don't fit the center mount hole through the seatstay bridge and therefore won't thread. the bore within the seatstay narrows and the mounting nut won't go through...well, at least it won't seem to go through. I'm reluctant to force it through. Any ideas? Thanks!
