That's @nzkiddo of this parish.
I've asked for a 'line up' shot in the past, I understand that his bikes are scattered across a few cities around the globe, so logistically it can't be done!

Further to @nutsjesmoar assurance of not a Cinelli frame;
The Spoiler BB Shells tended to be used on better-than-average frames as the shell came at a price point where builders wouldn't shell out for one of these just to put it on a gas pipe low end frame.
Should be reasonable at least!

Would rep.

@Forzabikes will likely know a bit?

That's very cool! But with the insert rather than a topper, if you need to raise the saddle rail height (Different saddle, or change of position for revised fit etc.) there will be exposed seat post. I guess that could be somewhat negated by painting the seat post insert, but it will still be obvious. I think I'd prefer a topper...
Nit picking though.

Has this been resolved?

It's the same one in the video that you posted on AKFixed, no?
Edit: Slave to the max - chapeau

Is that yours @nzkiddo?

Super chode stem though...

Classic Lightweights is also a great source of information. They have vast information on frame numbering convention of lots of builders etc.
If you nail down a likely builder, you may be able to use that site to identify frame type and year / builder etc.
Good luck!

Holy RD Cable loop, Batman!

Short wheelbase looks 'on trend' too!

Such empathy!
I would expect nothing less, however.

Needs more nudity in the reflectoporn. 5/10, would not etc.

Here's your best bet (also the appropriate place to ask):

For posterity;
The Wheels MFG No. 49 derailleur hanger is a perfect fit for a LOOK KG 171

Thank you so much, that's really helpful! I'll use that for reference.

@Rodolfo My LBS has a chart of all of the Wheels Manufacturing hangers, in full scale to compare. The problem is that it's difficult when the poster isn't in 3D - you can't quite tell whether the changes in depth will fit nicely with the dropout. I might just have a punt and get one!

Does anyone here have any advice on which derailleur hanger I should be buying for a KG 171? The Wheels Manufacturing number 49 looks like it might be right, but it's not noted as being suitable for the specific frame:

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I'm not saying that the bike as a whole is no good or anything, it's a cracker!
I just would have thought that a bespoke frame builder doing altogether great work would finish welds to a tidier standard.

Anyway, kudos on a marvelous bike!

Am I the only person who thinks that the HT to TT & DT welds look a little, uh, agricultural?

Thank you both.

@mdcc_tester approved 26.2mm seatpost in 350 or 400mm length?
Sorry if this has been covered.

My Deda's have grooves each side of the bar... weird.

Pretty wild frame for sale in a local sales forum:
