With Mario Cipollini's retirement in 2008, the tifosi, and cycling fans as a whole have patiently waited for an heir apparent to the flamboyant Italian. And although their cycling careers had some overlap, Flippo Pozzato seems most likely to have carried the torch with his style and palmares in the same league as the Lion King. Both have stage wins in all three Grand Tours, a national championship, and the monument that every Italian boy dreams to win, Milan-San Remo. Pippo has certainly achieved great success during his career and then there's his on-the-bike fashion sense including an extensive custom Sidi shoe collection and one-off painted Wilier framesets. Last season we saw Pippo sporting a beautiful Cromovelato Azzurro Cento10Air that deviated from his teammates and this season, Pippo has been spotted on a beautiful copper colored, known as Ramato, Cento10 Air Disc, a finish that harkens back to an era between the 1940's and 80's when Wilier-Triestina steel frames were copper plated. We've gotten enough miles in on the Cento Disc to know that it's a very special bike and if you're looking to find an even more exceptional version, go like Pippo and opt for the Cento10AIR Disc Road Frameset in Ramato and become the envy of any cyclist that sees you on the road. What we love about the Cento10AIR Disc is that it proves that disc brakes on a road bike and aerodynamics aren't mutually exclusive. Newer, updated aero development makes its way onto this disc version's tube and fork shapes and it helps achieve a claimed 8% increase in aerodynamic efficiency over the previous rim brake version. It's good to know with all that newfound speed on tap, powerful disc brakes can help you rein in the speed on a high-speed descent and isn't nearly as fickle if the weather conditions are less than idyllic. The Cento10AIR Disc is an aero bike through and through but it doesn't detract from the fact that it is also an excellent all-arounder, perfect for the needs of a classic...
