what skewers are those?

ilvwhtgrls

wow, sex on wheels.

Bontrager

I usually put the rear skewer handle between the seatstay and chainstay so it doesn't mess up the paint.

And what of the PF Frame?

Asian Sensation

Tragedy....

Bike is very nice nonetheless. If you wanted a stiff no BS bike you found it. Road it once, then never touched it again, I can't afford it and my tarmac is plenty bike for me. Soon though... soon *drools*

Surferbruce

pure unadulterated hotness very nice job

balsingh

what kind of wheels are those too? looks freaking awesome.

dgasmd

Thanks for the comments.

The skewers are Omni racer. 40gr per pair. Can be found on ebay easily.

The wheels are Nimble FLY carbon.

The PF frame, fork, HS, and seat post may be going to a friend that wants to build it up again for his wife. According to him, emphasis on those 3 words, she wants to start riding as well. It is more than likely him putting words in her mouth, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt I guess.

otismedina

Can I have your old one?

WHOOOSSHHH...

Awesome Bike!!!

kevinjw

why does it say look on every inch of the bike

edit: sorry this sounds sarcastic, but it is a legitimate question.

dgasmd

Not taken offensively at all. I ask myself the same question. Most, if not all manufacturers these days turn the bikes into NASCAR rolling billboards. Despite that, there is a certain "thing" for lack of a better word about this one. At least to me.

Campag4life

A pretty good feeling to know you own one of the nicest bikes in the world.
Ultra is spot on.
Awesome....also a Look owner.

George

WOW nice bike.

Strong Bad

Beautiful bike.
It makes me want one even more.
Maybe I'll finish out this season on my ZX3 and see what kind of deal I can get on a Look in the fall.

Bontrager

I would add some color to the mix. We should be able to see details on a bike that nice. With everything being black you can't.

Stylo328

Well, as the future owner of the PF frame, i can say it isnt coming without a HUGE sacrifice on my part...

Nevertheless, yes MY WIFE wants to ride with me and I couldnt be happier about it. Its not often we get to share in exercise activities. I hate to rollerblade and she wont MTB any more after taking a bad spill. This will give us something to enjoy together

Now, as for that LOOK, what can I say??? simply stunning. I can't wait to see it in person, albeit from behind and only for a few minutes as it dissapears into the distance leaving me longing for a better bike and stronger legs.

I am really happy for you. I hope you enjoy it to the max. With over 4K miles ridden in 2008, I'm sure the look is gonna gets its fair share of use.

Congrats again and PEACE Bud!

Sirrobinofcoxly

Nice choice on the skewers. I have the same ones. So nice looking.

Strong Bad

I got a PF ZX3 for my wife (I have one too), and she loves it. She's a strong rider, and it is one of several athletic hobbies we share (yes, including the one your thinking of).
It's great having a situation like that. The sacrifice is definitely worth it.

Very nice bike! For a guy who is fast enough for a power meter and who deals with tons of headwinds you don't have much of a drop from your seat to your bars. You might find that helps alot since you are in a much more areo position.

dgasmd

First of, I didn't know there was a speed requirement or qualification to use a power meter. I was under the impression this was simply a "tool" to help one improve. Second, the current drop in the bike is the result of a professional fit. I can tell you the difference in comfort and efficiency = power is very significant. As I said at the beginning of the thread, I will be dropping the stem a bit more over time. Being more aero on a bike does not necessarily make you faster. Often times the aero position is negated by the lack of efficiency and the huge discomfort too. I don't race nor do I compete on anything. I like to do long rides recreationally, so comfort takes a bit of a priority over a 3 feet drop from seat to stem.

wannaride

I do not follow your logic. If you are only a recreational rider why would you care about a power meter unless you were a fred? It's just adding weight you do not need.

If you prefer a higher stem that's a personal preference but don't speak nonsense. If you are faster sitting up in the wind why would they have invented drop bars and why do most racers have 3" plus drops?

Miller2

Why does there always have to be one antagonist in every thread?

dgasmd

Because even recreational riders want to improve.

You know, for this I will have to refer you to the search function. It is obvious for some unknown reason to me you feel I need to justify something to you or someone else. So, I will amuse you and play along. I do it because I can, I want to, and I can afford it. If my answers don't please you, why don't you go back to the local club's forum to complain again why you got dropped again on a 18-20 MPH group ride. You seemed to be extremely good at that a few weeks ago.
