Speaking of Looks, someone should buy this 695 from Excel. EPS is the only option.
I vote dgasmd. He's considering a new bike, already has a Look, and has the money. It could be the hottest bike on this forum with the right wheels.

My newest acquisition.
Thanks to Wade at Competitive Cyclist for all the help selecting the parts/size/everything.
(I've never posted a pic before so I hope that worked)

That bike is tits. Like the front brake idea. I assume the rear brake is also integrated in the BB area.

Correct. I ride a SMALL in the LOOK.
So many assumptions there I wouldn't know where to begin. I thought about this LOOK actually, but as much as I like it, I cannot see what in it would be a step up from the 595 Ultra model. I like lugged frames (this is not), I prefer to use the Campagnolo crank (not a choice here), I prefer TIME pedals (could here but frameset already supplied with LOOK pedals), and this is a rather heavy frame comparatively speaking. Also, this frame as an integrated internal cable system like the 595 that would be a royal PITA to get rid of to integrate the internal cables of Di2 or EPS not to mention that it would void the warranty on the frame. NO NO for me as I would go to something that was already read for EPS. Lastly, this frame does nothing for me at all aesthetically. It almost looks like a Specialized frame, which I can't stand the looks of it despite their performance characteristics.
Going from the 595 Ultra to this frame, I see it as a lateral if not slightly downward move.
