I suspected that, but mine also has bosses on the DT for shifters/cable stops. Weird. Thanks both of you.

HT ones are just guides for outers, a neat design that means cables don't rub on frame.

Oh that makes sense. And these guides are not provided with the frames as standard? Maybe they were, but mine got lost along the way.

I've discovered my model is from 2001, which makes the 7sp DA groupset I'm putting on it rather anachronistic...

Anyone got a spare £10k?!

Not only can I not find the binding torque for my Look frame and seatpost combo, I now discover that my post was subject to a recall over a decade and a half ago...

Dead soon?

Where should one be looking for a new Look road frame? Id be happy with a 2015/6 model that's been sat in a warehouse and am thinking of a 695 or even mamil spec 765, just not the stoops one with the faired in stem arrangement. They can get in the sea.

'merican shops seem to have some funky colour ways but my Googlefu is too weak to find UK shops.

Ubyk in Oxford stock them:

The 695s are better value as built bikes. Not sure if they even have frames.

That seems to be true over here, but in the US frames are errywhere.

What I'd really like is a 695 Aerolight:

But importing one feels risky.

Stunning!

Except... no look pedals?

I know, but my knees prefer speedplays.

Evening. Got an Ergopost 25mm that I swapped out of my KG281 for a Thompson elite because obscene amounts of layback isn't quite right for me.

One going spare.

Deets here if anyone interested. : https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/303422/

@thross can't remember if you were ever after one of these?

I wasn't actively, but it won't hurt to have a glance, ta.

First Look outing of the year. Some strange creakiness, BB suspected, and skinny forks feel funny descending..

My (too big for me) summer project - now for sale :-(

I had a reminder on Facebook that it had been two years since I first built up my Look. So here is a fresh shot in its current guise. Lighter and ready for some uphill struggles in Japan next month.

Beautiful!

L96 track/tarck is ready, only missing a 5 spoke and disc for more HHSB points:
