I see what you mean, it looks like damage in the photograph but it is actually sunlight reflection ! Actually l am in the same boat as you regarding my knowledge of carbon Looks. Although Look France have been extremely good at answering my questions , they even went as far as emailing me PDF's for every Look catalogue from 1987 to 2019 , fascinating stuff !
Do we have somewhere here to download them? If not there is a section over on retrobike.
I don't know if l can download them to CC , l will ask the mods. There are an awful lot of them (all in French, pas de problème je suppose )Ohh I love a catalogue.
Nice, are you buying it ?
It would be good to to see the earlier Look catalogues: I cycled the Tourmalet on a steel Look (with a lowest gear of 39/23) and it's a lifetime memory. A lovely bike it was.
I will put them all on CC when l hear from Pat Ponzi (Mod)It would be good to to see the earlier Look catalogues: I cycled the Tourmalet on a steel Look (with a lowest gear of 39/23) and it's a lifetime memory. A lovely bike it was.
I meant to ask if the frame was Reynolds 753 by any chance ?It would be good to to see the earlier Look catalogues: I cycled the Tourmalet on a steel Look (with a lowest gear of 39/23) and it's a lifetime memory. A lovely bike it was.
I don't want to make you envious but here's my own KG243I do recall it had Columbus decals & the frame was mainly purple, but can't remember the model or the specific Columbus tubing. What may help to date the bike, was the 8 speed 105 groupset (which I continually couldn't get used to - too many years of Campagnolo).
The catalogues will be interesting.
The company rightly get a lot of appreciation for their pioneering pedals & fine carbon frames - their steel frames are well worthy of respect too. There an absolutely beautiful Columbus framed Look KG 243 here: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=191523
An associated RB thread states a KG243 was built in Neuron OS by Billato in Italy.
Ok l have put the link to all the catalogues on "Vintage and classic bikes" section ......have a happy few hours on me !Ohh I love a catalogue.
Oh l forgot , the link to all the catalogues is now on the "Vintage and classic bikes" section !I do recall it had Columbus decals & the frame was mainly purple, but can't remember the model or the specific Columbus tubing.
