I just picked up this Look KG196 frame. One of the first "rocket bikes," circa 1992-97. So it's not really C&V and not really modern. The C&V guys gave me their opinions. How would you build it up?
Drops/STI? Bulls, aerobars, barends? Etc.?
Thanks

Wasn't that a time trial frame? If so, I'd say bullhorns and aero bars with the aero bar shifters, and a disk rear wheel.

I'd build it up like a road bike - that was the original intent. It's a harsh riding frame, even compared to the frames in that era, and it's not light. I'd build it up for aero/speed since that's what it was.
Doing a Dura Ace AX would be interesting.
Nice catch though.
