I thought we could use a thread to post about bike stuff we covet.

Not a real covet (I don’t want to buy something listed as “Fame data: Crho-Moly Steal DB”), more just a fun glance, or tab to keep open between work stuff. Also attributable I’m sure to seeing their bikes on the Giro.

But they did better with their spelling on the Tony Bevilacqua. I have always like the look of the Wilier bikes. I played soccer with someone named Wilier, he was our teams graphic artist and came up with some great t-shirts for us.

I’ve always liked their look too – when I first started looking for a road bike to buy a few years ago I was considering a Wilier since competitivecyclist had them but I ended up deciding to spend a little less on my first road bike, and buy from a shop instead of online (although being Performance Bike I think I’ve only ever taken the bike back there once!).

The Zero 7 in black/red is their most heavily marketed bike I think, but I really like the yellow fluo version Team Colombia’s had at the Giro

Would love that! Too bad Belkin is withdrawing their sponsorship of the team.

I would guess that needing to ID in provides some deterrence, and I would expect there’d be cameras & such. I’m more fascinated by the building itself–we don’t keep much infrastructure around for that long (except parts that actually should be replaced, like the falling-down tunnels). But, math: The building was originally built in 1868 as the main station building for the train stop…restored all of the oldest parts of the building, which had been used only for storage for around 200 years.
