Anyone have one or know someone with one?
I have a Look 585. this is a climbing bike similar to my Trek Emonda with no attempt to make aero section tubes. It is EXTREMELY light. With an older 10 speed Campy Record group on it and the Record Ultra Torque cranks in a size XL it weighs only 16 lbs. It rides surprisingly soft and so takes a bit of getting used to. I did a 26 mile 1850 ft ride on Sunday and it rode perfect, even though it was horrible roads and I'm 76 years old which means that every punk on another bike has to pass you even if it kills him. I love having these guys fly by me on the climbs and then when I get to the top they are leaning over the guard rail puking. So I just roll past and leave them behind. I may be slow but I haven't stopped. Yet.
