I keep forgetting to take a pic of the bike against anything but I picked up this bike new at the LBS.

Had it out to TTown today for the Masters and Rookies, raced cat 4, daughter raced Jr. Asked her to take some pictures, she couldn't get her butt out of the chair and waited till we were inline with the sun and then snapped a pic. Sadly this was the best. Although I like the bike in general and the fit is good, Look has a lot of work to do on their wheel builds. First race I did at Kissena a couple weeks ago one of the spokes was loose enough that a nipple vibrated off and into the rim, making me miss the second heat. A check when I got home showed that the spokes were tensioned between 35-187kgf, not sure what the spoke that lost a nipple was but it was off enough that the wheel stayed straight even with only 24spokes. Rear was no better. Had to rebuild both wheels to 112 +/-4 kgf to make them stable.
