I've got to swap out the cranks for my ergomo with the square taper BB so it will have '06 carbon cranks on it. My guess is that it will be still be in the high 14's or low 15's. |
Jesus f***in christ, that's a sweet piano :eek:
The bike's pretty neat, too. |

lucky man. |
Huh - you know it doesn't look bad once you connect the cables and put a decent wheelset on it...
(too bad about the saddle...) Gah! Put the airpump down! Hey, you gonna go pro with that? :D |
I'm still waiting for Botto to put wooden wheels and pig iron tubing to it.
|
btw - yesterday I was trying to figure out how to drop spokes down the seat tube. Blast those integrated seat posts....

|
Wow wow wow...

Nice bike. So white, shinny and clean. But I think I saw a smudge on it. Oh wait. That was just a smudge on my computer screen.
|
What a nice ride. I would gladly trade my wife for a 595. :D

Looks good Mikey (pardon the pun)
|
With that better quality pic, my hatred of you is now complete :)

Speaking of the devil, where is he? I haven't seen him since the prologue.

Well just took her out for her maiden voyage. Did a few adjustments and now have pretty dialed in. Added a 1.5mm spacer to the seat tube and lowered the stack hight by 2.5mm and now she is perfect!
This a tribute to how good the CAAD 8 is/was because the LOOK felt like a smoother version of my venerable C'dale. Handling wise very similar the noticable differences were in the weight and the more compliant ride of the CF frame. This bike feels much like the SystemSix I rode in March. With that said I loved my C'dale so this is just more to love. The '07 Record brakes are noticeably better than my '06 Record brakes, and the throw on the '07 QS shifters was a bit quicker and has a slightly shorter throw. I am a happy happy man. |
Thanks for the better quality pic.
Beautiful bike, beautiful componentry!!! ++++++++ |
I got the opportunity to ride this bike and yeah, you can feel the difference immediately. I would love to have one of these. They ride as good as they look - maybe even better.
|
Well I did three hours on the LOOK today and with only a minor saddle adjustment (tilt upward) I think I've got the fit to my liking. I've got only +1/8" more drop compared to the C'dale but otherwise I was able to match the fit almost to the mm.
The bike is great, I'm really stoked because I had this horrible fear that the bike that I've lusted after since it came out would be a bike didn't want to ride (I had this happen with my Orca). Well luckily my fears were all laid to rest. It handles like it's on rails, is incredibly stiff and is very compliant. With the Eurus wheelset the bike weighs 16.9# including the ergomo. With the KOM's 15.2#, including the ergomo. With the 07 cranks and no power meter this would have easily been under 15 pounds. |
I guess the OCP rule of a white garage door doesn't apply because you wouldn't be able to see the bike huh?
I love white bikes btw... |
