2012 Wilier Zero.7 (Used)

This has been Wilier’s top tier performance/race frame.

A review from 2012: The Wilier Zero.7: Everyone should want it, only a lucky few can have it. Wilier does not create bikes for everyone. They are not Trek. They are not Specialized. Wilier bikes are not designed for the masses. They are not the Olive Garden, they are La Pergola—a three-Michelin-star restaurant in Rome. They create bikes for people with discerning taste, for people who appreciate a race bike as art, as well as a performance machine. Style and tradition share equal importance with performance and innovation in Wilier’s design strategy. The two sides complement each other in their bikes, each side feeding off the other, pushing innovations in performance and style to their absolute pinnacle. This bike has personality. That is what truly sets it apart from other flagship models I have ridden. I am a lucky guy in the sense that my job affords me ample opportunity to ride some of most high-end bikes and components in the world. The Zero.7 is more lively than any other bike I can ever remember throwing a leg over. It goes. It wants to go faster than you can make it; you can feel it each time you pedal. Pushing forward with each stroke, it begs to be ridden at the absolute limit. I think this can absolutely be attributed to this bike’s extreme low weight and efficient power transfer.

I had my Wilier special built in 2012 for $15K (still have the original receipt). For that year, the Zero.7 carbon frame was the top high end frame of the year and I put top of the line and the lightest components on it within reason. This was my good weather bike. I rode it for four years in Spain and then stored it for many years. I just replaced the Campy battery and the bike runs good. I had a professional mechanic at a bike shop in Phoenix go over the bike. The charger for the EPS is a Euro plug but I have an adapter for USA plugs and it works fine with that.

It has FSA stem and narrow ultralight bars up front. Ritche seat post, speedplay pedals, Zipp 404 wheels. The bike weighs barely over 14lbs with the pedals. The seat is slightly scuffed on the side and one of the end caps on the bars it gone and needs rewrapping. It is a beautiful bike, ridiculously fast and crazy light weight.
