For $7500, you should get a sag wagon following you around, and leg massages after rides, for a year.

this one was doomed half way through the first post.
I'm only surprised it hasn't been a bigger train wreck. In fact I'm a little dissapointed. You came strong out of the box, but then some conciliatory, even reasonable posts, bled the life out of it. |

Well thats kinda my point about the bike being overpriced. Good job to Slim on showing its the same bike. Like I said, had they just offered say 200 "super collectors exact replica limited editions" of the bike for the $7K, & the other 495 in this model for a bit cheaper, I dont think many folks would complain. I just dont "get" why LOOK would put all their eggs in 1 basket withis this monstrocity, & try passing it off as some sort of "special.edition"? Nice to see LOOK paying homage to Greg, but making bikes a bit more affordable for many to buy, wouldve been a better thing imo. |
The "special edition" is really $900 more than the stock 2012 model which is about 15%. So you pay a premium for a limited edition which is normal for just about any commodity

Fact check: It appears you can order the 25th anniversary 695 in the same 6 sizes that you can order the regular 695.
And... The Pinarello Dogma 2 with Campy SR 11 EPS is $16,500 The Specialized Venge McLAren is $18,000 The Cervelo R5ca FRAMESET is $9800 The Cannondale Supersix Evo Ultimate is $12,500 And on and on and on.... A fool and his money are soon parted. On that note, if I was one of the 1%, the standard LOOK 695 I-pack is the carbon frameset I would go for. Alas, my entire road bike cost a fraction of the 695 frameset. |

My 2009 F150 cost $16k new, and my main bike is a Look 585 with a mixed Ultegra/DA drivetrain and handbuilt wheels...no bass boat or four wheeler (or beer gut), either. It's all in where your priorities lay.
Trek, Specialized and other companies sell framesets in that price range as well. They offer them because there's a market for them. |
For some, $10,000 is not a big deal. It's not a hardship - at all.
Different pricepoints and LOOK doesn't care what people that shop at bikesdirect think about their exclusive offerings. |

bikeforums logic:
I cannot afford it, therefore it is a waste of money. I do not want it, therefore anyone who does is dumb. |
