Wilier Bicycles (Cento Crono Model) Britton's Bicycle Shops

In the fall of 2006, Wilier Triestina and Team Lampre Fondital acquired the services of aerodynamics guru John Cobb to work with Damiano Cunego on his time trial position. John Cobb is famous for having developed the positions of Lance Armstrong and Greg LeMond.  They chose Mr. Cobb's preferred test lab, the Texas A&M Low Speed Wind Tunnel, used by Harley Davidson among others.  The objective for the session was to put Damiano Cunego through a set of meticulous air flow tests to find the best possible solutions for equipment, position, and biomechanics to improve his chances in stage race time trials. However, the session in the tunnel proved to be an opportunity to obtain precious information for the development of Wilier Triestina frames, particularly the Cento Crono Behold the result: a time trial frame designed and tested by John Cobb in the wind tunnel to be the fastest on the market.
