Northern Exile 4 Oct 10:04am, 4 Oct 2024 10,506 posts	0 Northern Exile To my deep regret, I'm going to have to part with my Wilier GTR. As some of you might know I suffer from ankolysing spondylitis and struggle to ride machines such as this, it was put together by an extremely fastidious engineer (me) and no expense was spared. Full Ultegra R8000 and FSA peripherals throughout, I will post full spec later. I'll likely let it go for a very reasonable price. I would prefer people to collect it, I live in North Yorkshire on the edge of the Dales. This is a fast bike, without question the best I have ever ridden. Please contact me if you are interested. 54cm frame.

Northern Exile 4 Oct 6:57pm, 4 Oct 2024 10,508 posts	0 Northern Exile Yes please Andy. I don't mind admitting I am heartbroken, it's the nicest bike I've ever had the good fortune to ride by a country mile

Northern Exile 4 Oct 7:07pm, 4 Oct 2024 10,509 posts	0 Northern Exile Just to add a bit more detail to the spec, I bought the frame directly from Italy and used new FSA headset bearings (they're Campag fit) and of course new Shimano bottom bracket (it's an English thread). Saddle is Selle Italia SLR, so a carbon fibre frame. Seat post is FSA SLK (carbon of course) with a Miche carbon-specific seat clamp, headset is all FSA, 90mm stem with carbon clamp. Bars are FSA "Wing". The groupset, shifters etc are all immaculate, no scrapes or dings. Proper Shimano cables used throughout. Decent Continental tyres with TPU (lightweight) tubes on Mavic Cosmic Pro carbon clinchers. Wheel bearings perfect and they run absolutely true, hub recently serviced. The whole bike will be serviced before I let it out of my sticky mitts
Northern Exile 4 Oct 7:08pm, 4 Oct 2024 10,510 posts	0 Northern Exile Oh yes, just to be clear the Castelli seat bag is not included, nor is the Lezyne rear light. I will chuck a pair of Look Keo pedals in if required.
Northern Exile 4 Oct 7:11pm, 4 Oct 2024 10,511 posts	0 Northern Exile Finally: bars are double-wrapped because of the problems I have holding on to things as a result of my condition. FSA first layer, Selle Italia top.
