very nice features. unhelpful geometry for the typical higher-end triathlete, that is, chris lieto would do great on it, faris or normann or torbjorn would do less well on it.

if you like the look's features, but need a normann position, look at the felt DA. if you want lieto's position, the 496 is a very nice bike.

looking to purchase a new one.

Dan, can you explain a little more. I'm new to the sport but raced bikes for 6 years.

Thanks,

Depends on fit but the adjustable stem leaves options. I saw a few at races this season and they are definitely very nice. Luke Bell was on one this season and liked the fit and geometry better compared to the Giant Trinity he rode last season.

The frame IMHO looks (No pun intended) cool. Look makes excellent product backed up with a lot of pro cycling experience, history & engineering.



A few personal observations

It appears to be available in 3 sizes (XS, S & M)

Only a 5 yr warranty

relatively slack 76 seat tube angle for tri

seems heavy with frame 1550g & fork 700g (2250g total)
