Thought it was about time to show this beast!
Yes its alive and man is it bloody fast, I cannot beleive the speeds this bike is capable of ,with the right legs low to mid 60’s on the flats are very very attainable.
After years of watching the 496 Track bikes rack up medals we can have this technology too.
The front of this bike with the Carbon Ergostem, the fork, headtube and headset have 21 patents alone.
Each one of these limited frames take 59 hrs of hand made labour. There will be only 500 for the world.
The whole purpose behind Look undertaking a Triathalon/TT bike like this was to create a bike that actually handles extremely well, with the completely adjustable front end and lower front stack you can actually careen this through descents with confidence.
Adjustable seat angle from 74-76.5.
Frame comes complete with fork, Carbon ergostem and Look carbon adjustable HA seatpost. MSRP should be in the early $4k USD (about the same price as last years 486 custom)
Dude, that is a crime on wheels! What are those wild looking blue and yellow pedals on the trainer behind it for? Something perverse I imagine from the size of them.
The track version of this bike is $10,000. $4,000 with cable guides and road dropouts is a steal!

yep you’re truly right on the money there, this bike wasn’t really even available to the public and it you did manage to get one of the limited runs they were over $10
when you consider it takes 59 hrs of hand made labour to make this bike, its quite a deal actually
ya relaly, my friends aunt is a distributer, i got that quote about the track bike, so initially i was gonna say forget look but now with the 4000$ thingy going on, i think ill have to make some calls.
I passed on a used US Nat’l team bike this year for $3500. There is a guy who races one of those Looks at our local track. It is just so darn sexy. I’ll keep my $3500 for the rear iO when it reaches the market and ride my Felt and Nagasawa until misfortune claims them.
A Nagasawa … track bikes don’t get any better than that. Did you get it from Nagasawa-san himself? If there was a Keirin track in Vegas, I’d still live down the street from Wayne Newton.
