KG-381. I just picked it up from its previous owner. I was pretty excited about it on my way to check it out, but once I laid my eye's on it I was jumping up and down like a little kid at the carnival. Its looks way better in person then the pics. I picked up some Mavic SL's yesterday, so all I need is a groupo tires and a seat.:D Ill post some pics when I get home. Oh yes, and true Look tradition, its very light.:D

Are those Doctor Times? If so, the coefficient to convert to real time is about 5. So, first ride, 100 minutes. Yeah, baby.....

Hi Sean,
Yours is definitely newer than the one I had. Mine needed a clamp-on front derailleur. Obviously, yours uses a braze-on style.
Definitely stealth-bike material. :)

It was purchased 3 years ago from Colorado Cyclist, and the guy has 7 bikes so I dont think any of them get a whole lot of use. There isnt even cable rub on this frame.:D
