After a week of waiting the 2 frames I ordered from the other forum arrived today.
It's supposed to be a Wilier Le Roi Carbon Frame with full carbon fork. box a little crushed from shipping other than that frame is ok. 1 small and 1 medium - Small will be built with Full Ultegra transfer parts from my brother Specialized Allez. Medium will take a while to complete. Few Pictures this morning at the post office and at my works parking lot.

Nice frame ... please send some pics once you complete the build. Looks very similar my Guerciotti ... without the "hugh" label that came with my bike. Enjoy the build!!

I am on the lookout for a frame to build up for my son. What other forum were these listed on? Do you know if there were Small frames there? How do they know they are Wilier?
Thanks for the info.

be careful how you look at it, it could end up like this:

That weaved carbon with no graphics looks fantastic. Very stealth. Can't wait to see it built up.

Small frame is coming along - I have to wait because my Brother was on vacation and I don't wanna start building his frame, I wanted him to do it himself.
here are a few pictures of the Small frame.
Parts from the Allez with the Small Frame ( Bros) hopefully by this weekend the small frame is done a ready for a test ride.

That looks awesome...
Did you have to pay any customs on the Zipp wheels? I have ordered several times from PBK but never over a couple hundred bucks- and never any duty charges.

The wheels are local, shifter, chain, cassette and gp4000 tires are from PBK, the rest of the parts are source out to cheapest available from the internet.
Damn!! Sexy bike! Great choice on components. Mind if I ask where you got your Zipp wheelset and how much you paid for it?
