Look KG243 Neo Retro build

  • Brought this frame with the intention of building it up as a winter bike and use my Supersix Evo as my summer bike. However when the frame arrived this plan went out the window.
    Finished building it this weekend (started in Dec 18) now having to wait for the weather to sort itself out so I can do the final adjustments.

  • Stunning! I think a different stem would be perfect but couldn’t say what. Something thinner for me

  • Tallboy. Yeah you are right. Thinking a Deda Superleggero stem would suit it better.

  • Damn, that's a stunner you got there.

  • I think you'll have to embrace the phrase 'matchy-matchy' and therefore Thomson stem would be perfect for this build.

  • Stunning! My size too 🤗

  • Whoa that's a beauty man!

  • Omg thats nice .
    Agree with Hoke get a match stem and post.

  • Get a better matching headset and spacers combo as well .
    like this .

  • Use a quill, this frame doesn't deserve a bulky stem or headset converter. To give you an idea: this was mine built as neo retro with a quill stem.

  • Yeah a bit more off the retro look .there's plenty of the modern stuff on your bike. Here's my old neo retro.

  • This is a threadless fork (versus Rocca's threaded one), so he would need another fork (and headset).

  • That will cost a lot more just to tidy up the cockpit
