    Ok I don't know if it is actually made in Taiwan, I just saw that sticker on the box and assumed so. Please correct me if I'm wrong! Someone in the comments said it’s actually made in Tunisia (GCN made a video on this too) 😊

      sorry to upset you, from the manufacturer point of view, all the barcodes stickers on the carton are printed with Chinese. And the QC was also finished there. I am quite sure this is made in taiwan.
      What size is the frame? Small or Medium?
      Anyway, expecting your first ride review soon…! Enjoy your new bike..! I like LOOK 795 Blade RS.. You are lucky man..!

    Congrats on the frame! Humans are visual beings, and if you like the aesthetics, you're more likely to use it frequently. This holds true for anything really. Piet Mondrian's pattern will always look great and relevant. The frame actually appears better in your video capture than on LOOKs website, I think.

    There’s no such thing as a 12 speed only road bike frame. You can install 8 speed on it with spacers on a 11/12 speed freehub body.
    What probably won’t work well is a mechanical groupset on fully integrated handlebars (no exposed wires) and internally routed cables. Those frames are designed specifically for electronic groupsets and hydraulic disk brakes.

      The ride is smooth and it really pulls you but the wheelset is a bit heavy and I’m running 28mm Grand Prix 5000 so the weight is there as well. Yet to change my bb to hambini at Nat’s.

    I've seen these frames in real life, they are stunning. Super clean lines and very high quality. The cockpit is just about the cleanest in the industry. I think that Look's top of the line frames are made in Tunisia, but this might indeed be made in Taiwan. I don't really know.

    I understand what u mean. Some ppl damn OCD about their frame and all. For me I simply don’t give a shit. Scratch, stone chip etc, I actually embrace it. Every mark has a story. Just like battle scars. If your bike is spotless means u gotta ride more and getgud with your w/kg

  • @lechprotean
    @lechprotean 11 місяців тому

    very wise choice of frameset. As you probably know by now, Look are the only manufacturer that 'weave' the carbon as if it was actual cloth. This makes me want the same frameset above any other!!!

    I personally feel that spending that kind of money for a carbon bike, especially if you have a difficult time saving that much out of your budgeting and living expenses, is not a smart thing to do. I didn't mind spending $11,000 US for my bike but it is custom titanium and I have the comfort of knowing it is going to last certainly for the rest of my days of cycling. Every carbon investment I have purchased in the past is gone either by failing or just because of it's age I would worry about it failing so I sold it. This titanium bike I feel I will never want to sell. It's a light crit racing bike and such a dream to ride even on long rides.
