LOOK - Look at them!

Thanks! I need to find a comète/io to finish the tt mode

A KG233p would be more like it!

Too expensive and the details are not crazy, I would prefer find a De Rosa for the same price !
If you have a cheap one, selle it to me :)

Anyone have a 58c-c look frame for sale? I've always regretted selling my old Look... anything from 241s onwards considered

I'd buy it if I found one in 55 though, to go with the road version!

I Have a 595 frameset for sale. Size large - not sure what specific measurements are - can measure tomorrow if interested though. Would assume a large is around 58?

£475.

Cheers!

That’s a good deal. Tester will be along shortly to tell us it’s the best Look since sliced baguettes.

it is more like a 55/56

The 586 takes that crown!

Being a retrogrouch, I got put off by the ISP, so the 585 is the best.

The 586 was 1 better.

Silly headset aside, the rest of the frame is completely different. There's something special about the high pressure moulded lugged ones (585, 595) that's missing from the subsequent semi-monocoque frames.
595 represents the end point and pinnacle of a line of development which started with the KG86, and the end of Look being distinctive.

the fact that you feel so strongly about this made me buy a 595 in < checks PMs > december 2016. it's still in a wardrobe :(

Oh yeah, it’s the 585 that’s the gem in the crown. I do love my 586 though. ISP, propriety headset and all.

Cheers @HoKe I hadn’t seen that on the bay whilst looking. @hoops - too small but thank you for the snaps. The search continues!

Anyone on here with a KG381? Can someone remind me of the largest tyre they’ve been able to fit?

26c Gravel Kings fit comfortably

Hell yeah dude, nice bikes

👌 many thanks!

Thanks! @Slappingpythagoras

a lesson in due dilligence here. more than 3 years ago i bought a 595 frame off the forum. i knew the seat tube had been cut and that the frame was on the small side for me, but assumed i could boost the saddle up with seatpost spacers.

and here we are. a quick mockup shows that i need at least 50mm of spacers to get to around my current saddle height. i can't find the manual for my post (the Re-Post, apparently) but the manual for the later E-Post says not to exceed 30mm of spacers. Currently, the red line is below the top of the tube, but only JUST.

i would sell it, but there's another identical one (same size) sitting unsold on the forum as we speak!

i think the Re-Post is an aftermarket product (the bike would have come with an E-Post originally) specifically designed to solve this problem.

ignore me?

this is what an original 595 looked like

same as hoops' 595 but without epost graphics in my case

Don’t think there is a height limit for the re-post, from what I understand it’s more like a conventional seat post. Doesn’t have spacers for a start.

The brown suede Rolls is more of an issue.

Blends in nicely with wallpaper and carpet though..
