SOLD 1997 Look KG131 59cm (57.5cm TT) White Blue - Full Carbon Bike - 3x9 Speed Tiagra 4400 Groupset - Mavic Ksyrium Elite Wheels - SOLD FOR £275

SOLD SOLD SOLD

Hi all,

I have this loely 1997 LOOK KG131 going spare.
Frame size, centre to centre is 59cm seat tube / 57.5cm top tube.
Standover height is 84cm so this will fit someone around the 6ft1 - 6ft3 mark

#CSBstart I had this frameset on my wall of unused bikes in France, as I initially purchased it for the 25.0mm Look Ergopost. The bike came from a local cyclist in Reims (Marne), France and was sold by Cycles Hubert in Reims.
I also purchased a complete KG281 in my size for the frameset so I thought I would transfer all the parts from the KG281 onto the KG131. #CSBEnd

It was repainted circa 2004 as a KG386, the paintjob was done to a good standard (and still bear the original owner's name - Pedro Moreno) and the forks were also upgraded to threadless Look ones.

It is worth noting that there are paint stress cracks on the paint around the lugs / bottom bracket area, this is due to the paint job getting older as opposed to be linked to a crash or a terminal carbon illness - I have / had them on multiple Look bikes, nothing fatal but worth keeping an eye on them.

• 3x9 Shimano Tiagra 4400 / Sora Groupset with Shimano A520 pedals - Chainrings have been changed to TA Alizé, cassette is in great nick and the chain is brand new.
  
• Mavic Ksyrium Elite Clincher Wheelset which have seen limited use and the breaking surface is in good condition. Pretty sure they will take up to 11 speed cassettes. Tyres are Michelin Lithion 2 tyres in 700c x 23mm, also in great nick.
  
• ITM Millenium CNC 25mm seatpost (moves freely) with unbranded Arione copy
  
• ITM 100mm ahead stem & ITM Super Europa 2 44cm handlebars with fresh marble tape.
  
  

Since I have put the bike together, I have fitted a new SRAM 9 speed chain, new brake pads, new Shimano UN26 bottom bracket, new outer cables, new Dura-Ace downtube adjusters, new bar tape.

I have not ridden the bike since I built it so it will definitely need a tune up, which I can do / will do later on in the week.

Price wise, I am only after £375 -> £365 -> £350 ->** SOLD for £275** for the complete bike, or less if you buy Champagne from me.

Test rides from Stoke Newington or I can bring into work (Victoria).

Cheers

Vince

No love for this beaut'?

Happy to include either blue or white bar tape if the marbled one is not to your liking.

do not change that bartape, maybe other tyres: black or black/blue
great bike: glws

Looks great Vince, don't change it or drop the price. Maybe just nobody in the market at the moment.

Thank you @sla30 & @PhilDAS
Weather isn't great at present so that might explain.

Tyre wise, I have brand new 700x25mm Zaffiro Slicks I can fit at no extra cost.

Clearance wise, the rear will take a 28mm tyre and the front a 25mm tyre (28mm would rub against the caliper arch).

Hi is it 59cm ctc or to top of top tube im 6,3 with 34 inside leg so might be ok its a beaut ?

@SWEDE 59cm is the ctc measurement - it was the largest frame of the range at the time.

Best trying it to ensure it does fit and I think you will be likely to need a 120mm stem (I have a spare 110mm).

I will measure the standover height for you tonight.

Thank you for the interest,

Vince

That's a lovely looking bike...and a very fair price to boot!

GLWS.
