Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Look here! ;^) - 585 w/ pics

I built this over the winter and have been too busy riding it to get pictures up. I was motivated by a friend who got a 565, and found this frame on the relative cheap (new) on eBay and never looked back. As pictured, with computer, it weighs 6.802 kg, size XL, and rides like a dream. Cutting any more weight would have been counter-productive, so I backed off on WW, for example, on the saddle. Drop is 4.5 inches from top of saddle to top of hoods.

2006 Look 585 frame and fork size XL
FSA integrated headset
Look CF spacers (2)
Ritchey WCS 4 axis alloy stem
Deda Newton bars
Record brifters
Record mechanicals
2006 Record BB and crankset (53-39)
Record cassette (11-23)
KMC X10 SL chain
Zero G SS calipers
KoolStop green pads
Nokon cables and housings
Zipp cages
Precision Forte CF seatpost
Selle Italia SLK saddle
Ritchey Pro V4 pedals
Custom Zipp 404 with WI H1 hubs and Sapim C-xray spokes
Cinelli cork tape
Vittoria Corsa EVO-CX tires
Mike Garcia Ti skewers










I apologize for the messy drivetrain, as I said, I've been riding it.

A black carbon LOOK bike with ZIPP wheels? Dream bike. 'Nuff said.

Cost of entire build? Frame?

$1,800 for frame.

All in, $5,600 including the Zipps and tires, roughly. Quite a bit less than full retail, but hardly cheap.

Gorgeous bike.
193 cm or 6' 4". It doesn't feel like a lot of drop and I'm 46 and not super flexible, although core strength is pretty decent.
