Look KG191 - Anybody know anything about this frame?

So, recently acquired a Look KG191. Been researching about this frame but to no avail. Found it being listed on the Look catalogues as a frame from the 1996'ish IIRC. Just my size so I reckon I'll be keeping this as it's in a very good condition. Got a look ergopost and an ergostem to go with it.

Not sure with the groupset yet, currently have Ultegra Di2's and a sram red. Campy groupset would be ideal as I grew up using campagnolo, but after using Di2 and SRAM, i just cant see myself using them thumb shifters ever again. Might get a nice looking plain silver/black headset. Dont want to get a chris king as I never really like the branding on the headset itself. Will have to get the steerer cut down a bit to get rid of the spacers

Got some ceramic mavic rims but might go the pacenti sl23 route. Corima 4 spoke wheelset just for the HHRSB mode.
Saddle will either be a stripped SMP composite or the usual flite.

Bloody hell that's nice.
I love how Look just really nailed the color/styling.

Looking forward to seeing this getting built.

most excellent purchase

Corima saddle?

Would want, not sure if I'm willing to pay that much for a saddle that might end up not fitting my bottom though. Description just said saddle brooks. I made a very low-balling offer so lets see if he bites hehe

Decided to go Di2 just because. Going to be a pain routing this externally as how i did my merckx..

Have to say im a fan of your bike, reminds me a lot of other early carbon like C4 and offerings by Aegis.

Sounds like a great project. How would you even begin to retrofit Di2?

looks lovely, Which size is it?

@7VEN not sure how i'll do it without making it look messy. Will have to experiment routing and black taping stuff

@SuperMario it's a 54x54

Go wireless!

Hah! I wish! I follow the rule where I buy what i can afford to replace.

My size too. Dibs if you sell!
Looking forward to seeing this built up!

Here is the '96 look brochure https://pyfrides.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/cat-1996-cycle.pdf
Dis gun' b gud!

Just saw some hairline cracks on the fork. both sides has it so I'm assuming it's where the fork crown meets the carbon as it's seems pretty consistent. going to try and sand the inside part just to double check. IIRC, I saw some people posting photos of their look with hairline cracks which are usually where the carbon meets something.

My KG121 has these where the Carbon meets the lugs. Hasn't killed me (yet) and the general consensus seemed to be that it should be expected from early carbon.

I have a pair of NOS forks if you're unsure about the cracking?

Pretty sure the cracks are just cosmetic, but.. How much are you selling the forks for?

I paid €60 for them, hoping to get that back.

I wouldn't mind ha I g them for that price, would be funny for those forks to crack ok th3 same place again though hehe. Pming you for further deets
