Review of Wilier Cento1 Hybrid (very similar to Orbea Gain M20)

[OzGreg]

I have just posted a review of the Wilier Cento1 Hybrid in another part of this forum.
This bike is similar to the Orbea Gain M20 and uses the same ebikemotion x35 propulsion system.

When researching bikes, I found this forum very useful so I am giving something back.
I hope it is of some use.

While the Bianchi Aria eRoad might be marketed as a "race" bike, I don't notice any problems not racing it. I've been riding for 55 yrs. and I have never bought a custom frame... all adjustments for fit can be done with the saddle, stem, and bars if the frame size is in the ballpark... at least that is my experience even with relatively long legs compared to chest height. The reason I bought the Bianchi is that my bicycle stable is full of Bianchis, all celeste of course.

I agree Karl. I needed something that would fit me "out of the box" as I was hiring it. The eRoad looked a little "slammed" in the pictures but I don't think it is any more aggressive than the Orbea or the Wilier. If I go back to that part of the world next year (and I haven't stumped up for a Specialized Creo) I will hire the Bianchi eRoad.
