Yes I have, right before posting. Have you? Every higher end road bike sold these days uses a proprietary stem/handlebar and seatpost these days, that's not something you can really call Look out for. Also, none of their bikes use the (excellent) proprietary crank any more. My point stands: Look has never gone to Venge/Madone/System Six levels of proprietary ridiculousness.
