Well the Look is done. Im very happy with how it "looks". It is a bit heavier then I was hoping it would be at 18lbs even as pictured. But hey its a training bike. Thats also the reason for a standard double, to torture my legs while training.:rolleyes: I just took it on a short loop, and was stunned at how much smoother this bike is then the Madone. The Madone feels like an aluminum bike compared to the Look. I felt like I was going slower because it is so smoothe. Its very comfortable when climbing, decending it is different then The Madone, almost twitchy. Ill slide the drop outs back and that should help.;)
All in all Im very happy with the bike. Its look is subtle and lean, the ride is sofa like, the fit is very comfortable thanks to the 17deg stem.:eek: I may end up changing that to a 10deg at some point, but for now I like it and its easier on my lower back.
Beautiful. You could shave some weight by losing the seat and seatpost. With the double you should be out of the saddle at all times anyway.

I was pretty shocked that the gearing is so drastic. Guess this will get my legs back in shape pretty quick. Ill train on this bike and ride the Trek on the longer climbing rides.
Thanks to both of you.:D

Nice bike. I love the use of red accents on your saddle, bottle cages, and bar plugs.

Nice build. Very stealthy.
Q: what's the purpose of the sliding dropouts? To make it a SS or fixie?

Hey Jeff, thanks. Im not really sure what the reason is. Its only about a half inch, perhaps for handling reasons.:o

I love the saddle, I have them on both of my bikes. The seatpost on the Look is way nicer and it makes it all that much more comfy.
