Looking for some wisdom from current Wilier owners.
A little about me. I'm a 54 year old male and have been riding now for three years. I ride between 4500-5000 mile per year in an area that has many flat, rolling and hilly areas. I enjoy all three I'm in pretty good shape after dropping 50 pounds and getting down to 155. My first bike that is just about three years old is a Giant Defy Advanced 1. It's been a great bike. I run Campagnolo SR11 and love it. I started on this bike to get a comfortable geometry. I've recently built up a Lynskey R230 titanium bike with Campagnolo Chourus 11. I really like this bike and I'm in a more aero position on it and just as comfortable. The Giant is a medium and the Lynskey is a 54. Now I want to breakdown the Giant and put my SR11 on a new frame and the Wilier just catches my eye. I started thinking about the Cento1 but came across the Gran Turismo. I'm not a racer and won't ever become one. I just like to challenge myself. The question is, which frame? Both have similar geometry and the medium looks like it will work well. I don't want a bone jarring ride but would like something a little more spirited than the Giant. I may be wasting my time and money but I've been known to do that before. I was thinking the Gran Turismo with my SR11 and some ZIPP 303 clinchers might be fun and still be able to do those four hour rides.
Any thoughts from the Wilier owners? Thanks in advance for any replies.
