Eurobike road: DeRosa, Wilier and Viner

Wilier says the unusual tube shapes were dictated by wind tunnel testing.

  • The DeRosa Neo Pro is a fully customisable carbon fibre frame.
  • The DeRosa King 3 still sits on its throne atop the DeRosa range.
  • The Neo Pro uses tube-and-lug construction to allow for custom geometries.
  • By using nitrogen sealed moulds DeRosa claims to have ensured a better bond between tubes and lugs.
  • Despite using modern construction techniques the Neo Pro has a very traditional look.
  • The Neo Pro is available in a number of colours, including a rather bright green.
  • The Team is DeRosa's entry level aluminium frame.
  • With frames like the Titanio 3.2,5 DeRosa has products in carbon, aluminium, titanium…
  • … and even steel with frames like the classically styled Neo Primato.
  • The Wilier Triestina Cento Uno is the Italian company's new top-of-the-range frame.
  • The Cento Uno is the frame used by Damiano Cunego's Lampre team.
  • Wilier has used Mitsubishi's 46-ton carbon fibre, reputedly the strongest there is.
  • Wilier Triestina produces the Cento Uno in an optional Damiano Cunego paint scheme.
  • This isn't actually his bike but it could be yours.
  • The Wilier Cento Crono is its top-end time trial and triathlon frame.
  • Deep-section tubes wrap the rear wheel tightly.
  • The Cento Crono was developed with help from aerodynamics guru John Cobb.
  • Wilier says the unusual tube shapes were dictated by wind tunnel testing.
  • Hang on. It was here a minute ago!
  • La Triestina is Wilier's new mid-range aluminium frame.
  • A matte black paint scheme gives La Triestina a sleek look.
  • Wilier also has new paint schemes across the range, including the Mortirolo…
  • ...which also comes in red, black and white as well as the Lampre colours.
  • The entry level Laveredo now comes in red or argento.
  • Viner's Maxima has undergone some subtle improvements for 2009.
  • The Maxima is only available as a custom frame and all are made in Italy.
  • The Maxima's bottom bracket area has been stiffened and is now available with BB30 compatibility.
  • New to the Viner range is the Mitus Plus.
  • The Mitus Plus has an integrated seat post and is available made to measure.
  • The Mitus Plus is also available with a conventional seat post and clamp.
  • The conventional seat post is just one of a range of options including BB30.
  • New for 2009 is the women's-specific Magnifica, which is available in pink as well as blue and red.
  • The Viner Xplus is new for 2009 and fits in the middle of the range.
  • Like many Italian companies Viner continues to make traditional steel frames like the lugged Divina.
