I think Look makes all of their frames in-house, which is a bit unusual. For what it's worth (who knows?), BB expert Hambini thinks that they have the best press fit BBs available. Look hasn't quite gone as crazy with integration and proprietary nonsense as some other makers, which is likely another plus.
Have you actually looked at any of Look's frames in recent years? Half of them use proprietary stems that cost $500 a piece. And if you don't want to run their crankset, you have to buy a $200 adapter from them. And their integrated seatposts are a nightmare.
