The Look family - Look KG196, KG381 & 695 Aerolight

Looks superb.

great!! weight?

weight?

It have some.

If I would do it again probably got 60mm deep carbon instead of the 50mm for more HHSB points =p

Took it to cadence to weigh and it's was a disappointing 6.85kg

Amen.

Canyon Aeroad in our workshop was 6.5kg with Ultegra component, and Zipp 202 tubular.

it's was a disappointing 6.85kg.

Oh no! I guess you have to sell it.

Don't tempt me woman!

Thinking to wait crackyon build a aeroad or ultimate disc brake for the next upgrade.

Build climbing wheels, sub 1kg.

just a pity it is a bike I will only use in dry and special occasion.

surely just ride it all the time?

surely just ride it all the time?

Cheap Superstar wheels, job done.

What's wrong with the current wheels?

Braking not breaking, or was it the other way round?

Full carbon? Rainy days? Chris King hubs?

Unless you mean all the time at this current weather.

Braking on carbon is fine.

Chris King hubs are absolutely bombproof, getting them wet is going to make fuck all difference. I'd pick CK hubs for a winter wheelset over a summer build.

Probably will get a shallower wheelset for purely climbing (maybe the enve 2:2), but in term of riding in the wet, I rather keep this bike in the dry for the sake of keeping it brand new-like and maintenance to a minimum (unlike my previous crackyon bike where I practically used it as my everyday bike and ruined every components on a daily bases).

Will get these if I every race again...

Anyways, I thought I got a crap shot of the bike but actually turned out to be alright:

So what exactly is it for? If you're not riding it in the wet, not racing it, and keeping it for sunday best, that's a lot of bike for about 10 weekends a year...

I know, stupid isn't it? I started this thread to build a bike I actually like riding with (which I have achieved) but I guess the worrying factor is riding and either crashing and replacing the parts all over again (which I don't think I would bother again tbh)

I think because it is brand new, I want to keep it in that state, (threating more like a priceless jewellery than a bike atm) but I am slowly using it a lot more as you stated: 'what's the point of building a lovely bike and only using it a handful of time of the year?'

And knowing me, once I get caught in a rain storm I will use it a lot more on the weekend and maybe weekdays (HOP) because I will start using it like proper bike.

For photos obvs...

When I see this bike I will scratch the fuck out of it so you can ride it properly.
