  • Which modern groupset would work on one of these, aesthetically?


    (look kg243 image taken from saarfs site)

    Was debating vintage vs modern but just realised I can get a pre tax loan from my employer to spend in a bike shop, which makes going for a modern group more appealing.

    Most of the builds I've seen have silver components - athena or 105 5800 fall in this category. But happy to consider alternatives. Don't really want to go much above ultegra cost wise though.

    Any suggestions from the look experts?

  • Just to spam another pic of my Look on here. I've got a mix of Sram and FSA on mine. But with that paint, rear triangle and headset you're better off sticking with silver components. Maybe Campag? I'm not sold on the idea of the current 4 arm spider Shimano cranks on anything except modern framesets.

  • Carbon Chorus would look great.

  • New Ultegra looks great on Dammit's Serotta.

  • I'm no look expert, but needs to be a silver group I reckon, silver 5800, with classic stem, bars and post, then modern silver hubs (hope mono rs?) laced to grey tb14's.

    That'd be the perfect blend of looking classic but having all the modern performance

    Grey won't go with the stays and silver accents on the paint I don't think
