Knowledge of Wilier Bike Brand?

Yes. I know the USA importer, and he occasionally comes to our group rides.

When you say the height difference between the saddle and the bars was 7 cm...was the saddle 7 cm higher than the bars?

The one thing I'd worry about it putting too much weight on your hands. It can cause them to become numb.

I'd try more bikes. It doesn't quite sound like you have found one that fits.

I lust after Wiliers. They are some absolutely beautiful bikes.

If I ever bought a time trial bike, I want the tri chrono



Other than that, I got nothin. Except to agree with SB that you don't want to be so forward onto your hands that they make your hands go numb or give you shoulder issues.

If you want a little more info on how a bike "should" feel and things to look for in the positioning, John Cobb has some pretty awesome information here - www.cobbcycling.com/content/ComfortandPower

Some of it's pretty technical but it's incredibly informative.
