I used to have a LOOK 595 that was my climbing bike, when I bought the Noah it was so much like my 595 (Ridley is stiffer) that I decided to go all out on the climbing bike. So I sold the 595 and bought the Addict, 13.3lbs, the Noah and the Addict are really different bikes. The Noah is stiffer, especially in the BB area, and quicker handling. Pcad and I have had one thing in common for years..we both have a massive dislike for each other.
