Look 595 Ultra XL frameset - HHSRB

It is with a heavy heart I am considering parting ways with my 595 Ultra. I need to
raise funds for a new project and I can’t really justify having my 785 and my 595 when they are designed to do quite similar things.

The frameset is an XL which equates to an effective TT of 575mm. For reference I am 6’2 and ride it with a 120mm stem. In the photo the saddle to bb is set at 80.3cm - the ISP allows for very fine adjustments to be made with a range of different spacers, from 1mm up to 10mm in thickness. I have a bag of spacers and there is scope for a whole range of different saddle heights.

At the moment the bike is built with super record 11 speed and light bicycle rims set up
tubeless and weighs it at just over 7kgs. The frame is very light and is a thing of beauty in its construction with bonded lugs. I won’t waffle on about how good a quality frame it is as Look’s reputation speaks for itself, but this is definitely one of the nicest and most responsive frames I’ve ever ridden. The frame currently has 25mm tyres on but it looks like it could accommodate 28 tyres, just, depending on rim/tyre combination.

Condition wise it is what I would consider to be very good given its age. There are some marks commensurate with age, but nothing too serious - it is an almost twenty year old frame after all! No dents or dings and the BB threads are perfect.

I will happily send as many photos as necessary to any interested buyers of all details.

I’m based in Cornwall but can post the frame anywhere at cost, just need to sort a box which is no problem. Included in sale is frame, fork, headset and slamthatstem headset cover bought from tester of this very parish.

£595 takes it

it's rad, i also foolishly sold my 595 for the same amount

Perfect opportunity to buy it back.

if it was a M or L in black, yes.

Dreamy bike. Interested in group/wheels if going as well. Interested to see what pushes this out.

I’m sorry for your (and hopefully my) loss

I’ll let you know. They probably will be for sale, at least in some capacity, at some point soon

Just stripped the frame and in the midst of cleaning/polishing it up. The black decals of “LOOK” are actually exposed carbon weave though it’s hard to photograph!

This is really quite tempting. Not a 4D move by the way haha

Fwiw these bikes are porn. I’ve had three. Regretted selling every one of them (I got two direct from Look through an ex-pro friend of mine as I couldn’t decide on the colour - tart). Then I needed money and sold them both. Then I bought another one. And needed money. Blah blah blah. They are brilliant bikes. But a warning, they are motherf#%}ing stiff. Only buy it if you want to ride like a bad ass with your hair on fire. Oh and if it were a medium this would already be mine. GLWS you enormous legged freak of nature !!

Wish my body would handle a low stack. Stunning

Sold pending payment

Glad this has found a home! Still mourning my 595 that got crushed on a roof rack, even though it's subsequently been replaced.
