Look is Hot!

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.

Not hot, just plain strange.

Hot. The only thing that could make it hotter would be a Campagnolo groupset.:)

What's the frame weight on that Look? Seems kinda heavy given the parts list.

Sherblock 01-08-12 11:30 PM

garage doors are for people who can't take good pictures. You obviously can. Hot.

You know the c-stem is part of the module right? It's adjustable from -9% to +13%

I think the staging is cool. Little more more DoF would be nice. On the bike itself, it looks like your drops could be rotated back a little (towards your knees) and the hoods raised a little though. The saddle nose looks a little down, but that could be lens distortion.

I hope that Look sees some race time and not just a trophy bike.

Beautiful.

NOT! wrong gear, blue door, horrible seat, not enough drop to saddle...

Tychom 01-09-12 05:28 AM

Gears - yeah the gear is due to quickly gearing up on coming to a halt so I could get off again in a hurry. That bit slipped my mind.

The door - blue-yellow colour blind or just not a fan of primary colours and colour theory?

The saddle - not pretty sure, but ugly? I wouldn't go that far. It's black, more or less period correct, light, cheap and most importantly comfortable in it's position - more or less level from front to rear third, with the raised rear up enough to sit back on. Any more sloping and there'd be more pressure on my arms than I'd want on long rides.

echotraveler 01-09-12 06:45 AM

NOT! hot is not a practical term. Its a pure esthetic state.

Dfarlow 01-09-12 07:48 AM

Definitely Hot! Curious about the Madfibers. I can barely see the ghost image of manufacturer decal on the front wheel, but not the back. Is this just the picture quality? Also noticed the red logo on front, not back. Any rationale? Just comparing the looks?

I was kind of thinking the same thing. 13 and half lbs would be insane for most of us, but that Look setup with MadFiber wheels.. Im suprised it's not closer to 12lbs.

Chris R. 01-09-12 08:19 AM

JSS, your bike is SICK. Very Hot....no matter what anyone says it's hot.
