I had no problem paying the 15% restocking fee as the AC 364 looked similar to a knockoff. If you have an eagle eye for detail, stay away from the Look AC 364! The pictures/info on looks website are far from what is actually shipped to customers/shops and not worth the hefty price tag.

I have in delivery Campy pista hubs on Mavic open pros to match Campy pista cranks/bb. I also found a vintage Campy seat post on CL that will be polished up in coming days. Due to not accepting the janky Look AC 364, I ordered a Wabi special! The information and support Mr. Snook offered over the phone is greatly appreciated after my disappointment with the Look frame set.

**Cliff notes: I ordered a Wabi special in anthracite, silver Chris King headset, Nitto classic dropbars, and Campy pista hubs on silver Mavic open pros (32h x2 front and rear). Delivery and pictures next week, I cant wait!
