Rare Wilier Cento Uno SLR Road Bike with Campy Super Record - Med in MODBURY, South Australia for sale
Everyone knows that some of the best bikes around are Italian and this bike this rare Wilier Cento Uno road bike is one of them. It is a very sweet ride and is equipped with a Campagnolo Super Record Group Set with Compact cranks and Bora Full Carbon Tubular wheels. The Boras are an amazing wheel to ride, due to their being very lightweight and having Campag’s CULT (i.e. ceramic) bearings. This bike is very light (6.6kg as seen in photos with pedals) and handles beautifully. Handlebars are Cinelli Ram and for me are the most comfortable bars I've ever used, whether in the drops or with hands on top of the bars. The frame has the special "snake skin look" layer only found on the SLR and stands our form the crowd (see details included below). Am only selling because I need to rationalize my bike collection. Bike has not done a lot of work and is in excellent condition. Have some other wheel options if preferred. Price is $4500 (without pedals, garmin sensors) and I’m happy to post at buyers expense.
Frame size would fall into the medium category. Top tube is 55cm and I have the seat height set at 73cm form Centre of the bottome bracket to the top of the seat.t there is still room for adjustment either way. I'm arounf 174cm tall or 5'9"ish.
SLR stands for SuperLeggera Racing. Like the Cento1 SL, it is 130g lighter than the Cento1. The weight savings comes from a handful of subtle-but-important changes. The superior strength of 60 Ton ultimately means Wilier can use less carbon to achieve the desired strength and stiffness for the Cento1 SLR. In addition, this bike is built with a zinc oxide nanoparticle resin to make the laminate stronger and more impact resistant by filling microscopic voids in between the fibers. This is accomplished without adding weight.
Like the rest of the Cento1 family, the SLR shares the same oversized bottom bracket that doesn't require the use of traditional external bottom bracket cups. Instead, the bearings are housed inside the frame itself. Wiliers system allows the use of any Campagnolo Ultra-Torque crankset (10- or 11-speed), SRAM system, or Shimano Dura-Ace 7900 & 7800. It has the same asymmetric chainstays to balance pedal loads and the same progressively-flaring seatmast to maximize in-the-saddle frame stiffness. Though shorter, you'll see the same headtube design, round at the top and square at the bottom to deliver outstanding control and steerability.
The SLR uses a CNC-machined alloy sleeve in the bottom bracket for the bearings that weighs 18% lighter than its predecessor. Wilier engineers shaved more weight by using in-molded carbon fiber cups in the head tube in place of the bonded aluminum cups of the Cento1. The Cento1 SLR also saves weight with a micro-thin clear coat.
