Any questions or more detailed pictures wanted just ask?

For what it's worth to anyone reading this, I have one of these frames and it really is something special to ride.

Free bump - just to check, what tubeset does this have? I'm curious as the heritage has tange no2/infinity fork as and looks identical down to the seat collar - but minus the awesome chrome of course.
To my knowledge these are the only Looks made in Taiwan, does this tally with your research?
Awesome bike btw, good price too, too big for me though

All specs for the ac 364 heritage say tange infinity tubing for both the frame and forks but looking closely at some pictures every one I've seen are clearly labelled as no2 on the seat tube so the listed spec is incorrect and i assume all websites just lift the spec sheet straight from look meaning thats looks error or maybe there are some infinity and some champion versions out there depending on which tube sets were available? Mine probably is made in China as well like pretty much every thing else nowadays (carbon looks are made in Tunisia from Japanese carbon anyway) The main difference is obviously all the chrome and i paid £890 for my frame via special order then had wait a couple of months for it as it was not a mass produced stock item basically look advertised it as available to pre order for a couple months to gauge interest and once they had enough orders placed to warrant a production run they did a one off run of 3-400 frames. After that they decided not to mass produce the frame with all the chrome detailing as it was too expensive. They then decided to mass produce the heritage version instead because they could make it for 30% less yet sell it for only 10% less so another company putting maximum profit before making the best bikes they can. No surprises there. Essentially its the bike the ac 364 heritage should have been if look hadn't gotten so greedy.

I don’t know a great deal about the history of this frame. I found mine in a little bike shop in Vienna and couldn’t resist. I’ve got a right old collection of steel bikes from the 80s to 2000s. This is one of my favourites.

You probably put my little collection to shame then. My wife says if i get into double figures I'm in trouble. Maybe i just need to find better hiding places for them all 😁

You may be right. I stopped counting at 20. Fortunately my girlfriend is very understanding..
Look ac 364 this frame was a special order from a limited run in 2015 i have spoken to a rep from look since and was told they only produced 3-400 of these and most of them went to usa and Japan so they are pretty rare. It is a much nicer frame than the cheaper heritage model currently available with all the chrome and much rarer.
