WimVDD-
I meant "less known" as opposed to low-end but that Sachs New Success Groupset never really picked up.
It deserves brifters so will probably source an 8 speed Campagnolo Groupset for it.

Sachs New Succes isn't low end, no?
Anything that prehistoric will seem low end compared with modern kit. 1970s Campag Super Record was at the top of the market, but on a bike for riding I'd take 2015 Shimano Claris over 1975 Super Record.

New long term project for my brother in France.
52cm LOOK KG176 Carbon/Kevlar/Composite with a 54cm top tube.
Not much information online apart from that it is the High Modulus (HM) version of the KG172 from the mid 90's. Any more information welcome - there has been a few of these on the forum.
Nice maroon / deep purple colour with silver LOOK lacquered over sticker.
Groupset is a low end mixed bag with Sachs New Success RD, FD, headset & rear hub, CLB brakeset, Shimano 105 chainset & front hub, 3ttt quill stem & bars. Lovely Miche aero seatpost, pretty rare in 25.0mm.
Probably soft restoration - better period groupset, silver bar tape & saddle.
