  • Need a 25mm carbon seatpost for my KG121.
    Any ideas? Pm if you want to sell.

  • itm big one matt black alu seatpost and stem on mine

  • ^Nucleons? Really regret selling the Neutrons from my KG221 on the previous page

  • Ended up getting a Dura ace alu seat post on Ebay.

  • nucleons indeed, great wheels, have a tubular and a clincher pair

  • Look, if you like it, go for it.

    Good thing it got a rear brake mount for your draconian law.

    I'd love to have that AC364, but it's a little more than what I would pay (even on trade).

  • Thanks to @mdcc_tester for pointing me in the direction of this thread. I took delivery of this frame today. I believe it's a KG171, am I correct?

  • Took delivery of my Look today. Very happy with it!

    Doing some searching for it on the net as its unusual colour and it turns out it was for sale on this forum as a complete bike!

    Looking forward to building it up now and taking it for a ride!

  • Belatedly, but stem on @ghostface 's Look looks like an ITM Open 800

    I've got one and they are pretty nice stems, and the hinged mount is great as you don't have to scratch bars / remove tape. (Wouldn't want to use it with carbon bars though,in case you were thinking about that)

  • It was similar but didn't have the hinged front. I've lent the stem to a friend but could always find out the model via them if necessary

  • Thanks for the info branwen

    Does anyone know where I can buy a seat bolt/clamp from for my KG231.

    Thanks in advance

  • @LookyLookyman Maybe try bespoke? They sell Look and from what I've heard Look themselves can supply older parts - toptube plastic cable housing bits etc... Worth a shot? I have a kg231 so can send pictures/dims of the bolt in needed...

  • like the stem slammage

  • 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.

  • Unsure if this is the right thread to ask but hey. Anyone ridden a LOOK 695? I'm considering buying a modern bike and it's very much on the shortlist.

  • My KG381 looking pretty yesterday

  • ^ Nice, are they Veloflex tyres? If so what width are you running and how do you find them?

  • yep Veloflex Master 25s. Think I got em on Wiggle

  • 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
