LOOK - Look at them!

  • 2006 Look 595, SRAM Red, TRP R960 brakes, Look KeO Blade pedals, Deda Servizio Corse stem, Zipp 808s, an obscene quantity of Look logos, culminating in the top headset spacer and the bar end plugs. When I got them I felt it was finished. I rather like it.
    I acquired the frame from a Dulwich rider in October last year and spent 6 months accumulating bits and bobs off eBay to get it all together. The only thing wrong with it is the slightly-larger-than-recommended number of seatpost spacers required to make it fit :(

    Look, Look, Look, Look, Look, Look, Look, Look, Look, Look, Look, Look, Look, Look, Look, Look, Look, Look, Look, Look, Look, Look, Look, Look, Zipp, Zipp, Look, Look, Look, Look, Look, Look, Look, Look, Look, Look!

    Is it a Bianchi? ;)

    Fucking love that. What's the total on yours. Someone I know has something like 42 Look decals on his. Think some may have been added.

  • So what you're saying is:

    a) I need to turn back time

    b) have some kind of road accident where someone else is to blame

    c) listen to the radio?

  • Something like that. But as much as the Look makes me smile, I'd rather be without it and have not broken my face in the first place I think.
    @pf I think it's 38 odd. I always lose count when I try to add it up. three on each bottle cage, five on each pedal, etc etc.

  • mm - face before bikes always.

  • therte are so many logos on some of those it is difficult to actually make out the outline of the bike

    kind of like

    the way bmw camoflague their brand new test cars

    I hope you have Look embossed bar tape, with Look bar end plugs.

  • Object has a lovely Look 595

    Thanks.

  • Need to sort out some decent pix of mine, but I haz 585 Ultra and 464

    Obviously I'd upgrade to a 695SR and 496 if I had money to burn.

  • you built the 464 up?

  • i need apict of mine too 464

  • Yes, it's built and has been round both Calshot and Palmer Park. Should appear magically built up if you refresh the page

  • nice...slack chain...*

    *gets coat.

  • Does make hunting for deals on a LOOK frameset a massive PITA.

    Personally I prefer Time, but they aint much easier to search for.

    Bloody French.

    Change thread title to "Regardez le temps" and be inclusive - I think a lot of us have probably only jumped one way or the other on the Look/Time divide more or less at random.

    Oh, and they don't just make frames:

  • I was waiting for you to post the pedal pic :)

    mine don't quite compare :(

    I hope you have Look embossed bar tape, with Look bar end plugs.

    I bought it, but the tape was hideous. Using the plugs though, obviously.

  • mine don't quite compare :(

    It's the same pedal apart form a few grams of fairing adding £60 to the price.

  • the tape was hideous

    +1

    My 585 has SRAM reflective plugs to go with the Red shifters.

    I have equal respect for both (lots of inhouse inovation), and consider both to have a nice individual asthetic.

    Time just make bigger song and dance about their polymer processing technology.Which appeals to me as a polymer chemist.

    I've said it before, but the chainset on the 464 is the biz.

  • Object has a lovely LOOK 595

  • My commuter/fun bike.

    Still have the Look embossed tape. Not the nicest feeling, but I normally get through bar tape like a motherfucker, but that Look stuff has been on there for about 7 months and over 4500 miles and it still looks/feels brand new!

  • ^, ^^ both lovely

  • Cheers DMC.

  • My OTP Cycle to Work bike

    Someone came to Evans with that exact bicycle whom needed to cut down his steerer, sadly it take a little too long to do so, but such a great bike.

  • Will put up a pic of my Look hack bike when I get the chance. It's one of the yellow ones.

  • I want someone to de-sticker a 464, but leave the downtube sticker on.

  • Good luck with that, the decoration is under the lacquer.
