That doesn't look like the integrated stem in that pic btw.
-
That's not a C-Stem, but it does just slot over the top of the steerer so if he's got it you'll be fine.
My brother bought a used 695 where the C-Stem had been installed badly and it constantly slipped, there were knurled aluminium shim things that grip bits inside and the knurling had worn away. He got replacements for them, but it's something to look out for. The C-Stem and Z-Cranks are really nicely engineered, but they can be fucked up by poor installation. Also make sure the steerer hasn't been cut too short to use the C-Stem, though by the look of that photo it should be fine.

What's that wierd shevron style mark on the crank?
-
Is there a name inscribed on the top tube / head tube?
Also, I have such a weird love for those Zed cranks. There is an odd one out chainring bolt though

Do also check that the c-stem comes with all the gubbins including the rubber part (and spacer, should you need it) as it is needed.
Make sure the frameset comes with the Look manual and do an authenticity check of the serial number with either Look or authorised dealer (Sigma?) - so many counterfeit chinese frame sets about.

Hello Look lovers, I might have found a really good deal for a 2012 695 SR and I would like to ask you some advice.
Seat tube has been cut and and luckily it will be the right size for me, but to avoid any surprise, I know that these frames use dedicated spacers to adjust the height for another 20mm max.
Are they safe and good to use?
Seller says is in used but really good condition overall, but I would like to ask you what else I need to check better, as I don't have much experience with these integrated-everything frames.
It will include the integrated adjustable stem (120mm) as well.
Waiting for your advice!
