LOOK - Look at them!

Soon...
Will be building it up this weekend. Got a very good deal for a brand new frame.

Mmm....dat weave

Think I need a new headset for my KG241, what's recommendation for 1" black threadless? CK so pricey. Ritchey, Cane Creek?

Cane Creek 40

Cheers, will take a look. Better than S2? Ribble have for £22, half price.

Dunno.

I think the S2 pre-dates the 40 series.

I know which one looks better, if that helps.

Cheapest place to get a seatpost bolt thing for a KG 231?

Think they are £12 on eBay.

This one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Look-Seatpost-Clamp-Bolt-For-25mm-Seatposts-Fits-Kg451-361-381-481-1pc-/131857330639?hash=item1eb34f31cf:g:nZUAAOSwOVpXbO4p

It'll fit a 231?

Looks right to me although photo doesn't show whole assembly. JE James say £9 but not in stock.

Can't stop loving mine... I would love tho to pair those awesome tyres with some wide rims soon...

Can you just confirm to me once and for all this set up would not suit an in-line Thommo? I want to do something with the seatpost, may just end up doing the acetone logo removal trick.

Has anyone got any experience of replacing the bottom bracket bearings on a 695? Mine is making a clicking noise and I guess they need replacing. Any cheap-ish options for replacement bearings and is there a mechanic in London that actually knows how to do it?

My previous look build of a kg171 - sexy but disappointingly too big at 58cm. Can't force the fit however much I try. New frame purchased today - kg486. ive moved on a decade to boot. Ill transfer most of the parts from the previous build over, very much looking forward to seeing how it feels in comparison!

In the meantime this frame will be due to come up for sale in the coming weeks if anyone is interested! Perfect condition (despite the oil in this pic!), a glorious colour, but as I say frustratingly just that bit too big for me..

(Must say it was not ridden with these cage pedals this was a temporary swap whilst I used the clipless on my other ride, I use the pedals to hang the bike from the wall when storing!)

Bespoke cycles, or any other Look dealer as you need a special tool to do it.
I had it done on mine.
Bearings are £90, labour an extra £90.

Off of eBay? I was watching that.

Yeah that's the one. Well if this doesn't fit either I'll give you a shout! I think I could possibly be running the same risk having since looked a frame geometry table

Rather pretty KG243 on eBay just now:

I have a brand new Thomson in line 25.0 seatpost, black, if anyones interested. £35 posted.

Really enjoying this.

Edit can't seem to upload picture!

Describe it through the medium of dance.

Hi there - I think I might be interested. Is it a kind of peach colour?

Dibs, pm on the way

Yeah thats the one, peach/faded orange. Its a great colour, i much prefer it to the more common yellow. I'll be looking to get back what i paid which was 270 for the frame and 70 for the ergopost but I will do a proper listing/photos once its dismantled and wiped down. If you want to have a ride on it before i take it apart, then feel free i'm up in walthamstow.
