Spent my winter on 2 Italian builds.
1. Wilier Filante SLR with ultegra di2 and Hunt Aerodynamicist 44 wheels. Loose frameset was on sale, so I finally decided to go for it after years of eyeballing. Ride feeling is truly unbelievable and lightyears ahead of my other rides. The feeling of a worldtour bike.
Ultegra di2 instead of campa because… my kids have to eat. Total cost 6400€. Saved a whole lot by purchasing everything loose and building it up myself.
2. Colnago Master Super Piu. Right after I spent all my bike money on the Wilier, a friend of my dad’s called me to see if I was interested in an old race bike. Turned out to be a Colnago master with a horrendous mix&match 7 speed groupset. Took everything off and after sleepless nights on how to build it back up, I went for neo-retro with a Campa centaur 11sp silver groupset, Campa calima wheels & Ritchey finishing kit with and ahead adapter. Probably offensive for the purists, but new stuff just works and feels better. Every part brand new except the steel. Total cost 700€.

Absolute beauties.
Sun behind bike = bad photo
Your ultegra front derailleur height sticker is still on which disqualifies this from bike porn.
Also, portrait mode is not usable for bikes. Look at your spokes.
