It's the blob on the seatpost and the stem/steerer combo. Not hot.

I only like a handful of BMC's. your bike is on the fence of hotness but as much as I want to say hot, I stop myself equally to say not. There is something about that bike that just really works, but there is something about it (I cant point out what it is) that is holding it back. (it isn't the computer) might be the tires?

I don't like the white tires. Valve stem caps. Close your front brake. I also think those pedals and seatpost are not the most aesthetic.

The seatpost looks weird, and the wheels don't compliment the bike very well. I think a high carbon wheelset with some red in the decal could make it look stunning.

I like the BMC, I'd say ditch the seatpost though. It'd also look better with black crank, derailleurs, and brakes.
I usually don't like white tape/wheels/saddle, but this one makes it work for some reason.

Throw the stick!!!!
I agree. I think that seatpost really takes away from the look of the bike. The long cables are a distraction as well but I imagine those have been cut by now.

It's funny nobody whines about crank/wheel position and lack of garage door background when a bike like the Look pops up. Which is how it should be, I think to many say a bike is not hot because of little details like that.

Personally, I think that stem kills that Look. The shape looks weird, plus it would look better if it was a -17deg. It's horribly staged as well. Stage it correctly, and change the stem, and it would be well over a hundred degrees.
