For Sale: LOOK KG196, Dura Ace, Ultegra, CXP14, Beautiful piece of cycling history!

For sale is a very rare LOOK KG196 carbon fiber bicycle with a dura ace and ultegra groupset. This beautiful design was the first single piece LOOK carbon frame to be used in road racing according to the look website (http://www.lookcycle.com/en/all/look-cycle/histoire.html) and is incredibly light, even with the CXP14 rims.
The aerodynamic design was one of the early moves towards modern road bike design, and was revolutionary in the early 1990s, where this frame dates from.
Here is an original advert for the frame:
