  1. I have a line on this frame and fork with
    quality components. And it fits.

    Just trolling for comments.

    I like the paint job, too. I may
    change the decals from *LOOK* to
    *FRED,* I'm thinking.

    They're great bikes, and fairly stiff but not OCLV or C-40 stiff.

    *** Stiff as in when I stand and mash the bike can take it, right?

    relaxed angle with relatively low BBs.

    *** Ball bearings?

    Be gentle with me...

  3. They're great bikes, and fairly stiff but not OCLV or C-40 stiff. Some
    folks like it because it feels "lively". I like them because they've got
    long top tubes and relaxed angle with relatively low BBs. Traditional stage
    race bike with predictable handling characteristics. JUMP ON IT IF THE
    PRICE IS RIGHT!

  4. Uh, hmnn, bottom brackets, that is. Kelme, Credit Agricole, CSC and two two
    other teams rode this frame and its predecessor in the 2001 and 2002 TDFs
    (note: the pros get stuff a year before we do). It's an awesome bike.
    Tyler rode one into 2nd place in the Giro D' Italia.

    actually i thought Parlee made most of Tyler's stuff and it was painted to
    match his Cervelo,etc when he was at CSC

    Look is tops at any price, for one reason above all else: customer
    service. My dad broke a pedal a week ago, called them up and they
    said, send it here, we want to see what went wrong with it! Oh, and
    we'll send you a new pair of our newest design for free for the favor.

    He did and they did, less than a week turnaround. Can't beat that
    kind of support with a stick. This makes Look the R-R of bicycles in
    my eyes.

    -Jeff.

  7. Parlee made the frame he road on the Gavia pass, as I recall. But he also
    rode the Look a bit, too.

    Why? (If you plan to answer with an anti-french, pro-Bush Iraq war
    tirade, don't bother because I've heard it ad nauseum. If you have
    another reason, by all means let me know.)

    *** I did. I'm looking at it right now.

    Upgraded the wheels to Mavic Kysryim SLs, put Shimano
    pedals on, Flightdeck...

    I'll post pictures soon.

    Rides like a dream.

    Thanks to all for the comments.

    Which stage of the 2002 Giro went over the Gavia???? 😕

    Oh, that's right, the Gavia wasn't in the 2002 Giro. As Beppi Conti said at the presentation: "There are no classic climbs in this years Giro."

    The 56cm frame with a 57 top tube. For long rides I'd use a 120mm stem and
    for short races a 110 (I like the bike to be under me for sprints).

    What kind of long distance rides are you using your LOOK for? 😎

  19. You're right; I was mistaken.
