Should I buy a Look KG 496 Tri?
Quote | Reply
Hi,

I can get a great offer on this bike. What do you think: is it worth paying for? I will mainly use it for nothing and some middle and longdistance races with about 22-24 mph. The fit is expected to be great. So what do you think - should I buy it? Or forget about it because of the unaero seattube cutout (which some say is more aero than other cutouts) or other problems?

Best regards

Martin

I have one and love it. Fits perfect and like you got a great deal on it.

I would bet most people buy bikes because of looks, name, and then fit. I got the Look because it fit and you don't see them at every race. As far as being non aero. There are pros on them in tri and professional cycling. Can't be all that non aero.

It's a sweet frame. If you want to know if the cutout is worth it, build a foam insert/fairing to fill the gap and test it out.
