Latest Project: 2008 Wilier Izoard
I’ll skip the back-story, I know you don’t care all that much.
I was lucky enough to get my hands on this beautiful frame recently, and had enough parts lying around to get most of a build kit put together. I had to pick a new cockpit, seatpost, and crankset (and the small parts) but that was about it.
Its a bit of a frankenbike currently as the build is a combo of Shimano Dura-Ace and Campy. I’d love to get it fully loaded with Record at some point…it being an Italian and all.
2008 Wilier Izoard Custom Build
Wheels: DT RR1.1, DT Aerolite spokes. FH: DT240s Radial, RH: PowerTap SL
Drivetrain: Campy Chorus CT Ultra-Torque cranks, SRAM PC-99 chain, Dura-Ace F&R derailleurs, Dura-Ace 10sp shifters
Cockpit: Deda Newton OS bar, euro curve, Deda Zero100 SC stem
Despite the Shimano/SRAM/Campy drivetrain it shifts great. The bike is much stiffer than the Look 555 I was riding. Fit still needs a few tweaks and I’ll have to try another bar as these Deda Newtons are measured end-to-end not center-to-center so this one ended up too narrow. If you are in the market for a brand new OS Deda Newton ‘42…drop me a line. ari (at) bluroom.com
If it ever stops snowing here I’ll post a better ride report once I get it out in the mountains for a few hours.
