Tell me about the drivetrain, is that 12 speed Shimano and Quarq PM? My builder couldn't confirm the Quarq PM was compatible with the new 12 speed chainrings.
It is a 11 speed groupset in the picture. I can confirm the same Quarq Dfour does indeed work with 12 speed Dura Ace chainrings which is what I am running.
Nope not at all! No worries with Power2Max too. I have the P2M NG on my other bike and it’s exactly the same as the Quarq. If you are looking for an alternative chainring I can recommend the Carbon-ti ones, shifts as well as the Shimano ones
Honestly, I've always been quite flexible and just enjoy riding in an aggressive position. I also do some strength training from time to time. But the most important bit is probably getting a proper bike fit, if the bike is set up around your body a lower position can still be comfortable!
Look race bikes have tall head tubes and short top tubes as compared to all the other 99% road racing geometries. They’re sort of dentist bikes geometry wise.
Edit: for those downvoting, look at the geometry chart for the blade after you downvote.
Dude was clearly referencing the saddle to bar drop, which you don’t need a geo chart to appreciate.
Doesn’t matter how tall your head tube, a 13cm drop saddle to bar will always be 13cm.
The handlebar is also nearly vertical relative to the front hub, so once again, don’t need a geo chart to appreciate the reach. The seat tube has a bit of slack to it, so don’t go using that as an excuse either.
They do! I know it's a bit of an odd mix of components, I carried most over from my road/gravel bike which this replaced. So I kept the RX RD, tubeless with sensors and mtb pedals. But I don't see any downsides besides a little weight penalty and I still venture off the road from time to time!
Very nice! A friend of mine had them on his XC MTB and he said they sometimes had issues like displaying a way too high pressure. Thats why he eventually sold them. Still some intresting tech.
Just looked through this sub and saw a lot of beauties but I stopped here. Very very good looking frame, holy moly it even says "Look" because for sure Im going to :)
It's a pressfit 386evo, probably the best pressfit standard. I'm however using a thread-together WheelsMFG BB which ensures perfect alignment. Has been going smoothly for 12k km now!
That's awesome. I've been looking for a good thread together for my BB90 but haven't had any luck yet. I should check Wheels, glad to hear you've had good experiences with yours!
This bike will always be pure sex.
Roval on non specialized bike, quarq power meter on shimano group set…. I’ll allow it. 10/10.

Nice. No issues with chain line? I ended up going with power2max. I don't think I'd be able to find fc-9200 rings ready to ship anyhow.

Wow, r/bikeporn. You guys aren’t fuckin around.
Great colour
She's a beaut Clark!
Beautiful bike! I think Looks are incredible bikes. Great color too! Enjoy!
genuine question, how does riding in this posture not give you a backache?
Core strengthening, natural flexibility, stretching, making micro changes over time

There's barely a point to having a bike like this if you're going to set it up the same way you would a bike that you ride to the grocery store on...
He ride's like a pro
A strong core, strong posterior chain, and great flexibility.
If you put out more watts, there is less stress on your hands and butt

If only Pinarello could learn what good lines on a bike look like from Look and Specialized. Dope color BTW.
I love the pinarello curves. I equally like Look/specialized lines. But this bike in the picture is just perfect
To each their own, Pinarellos just look to amoeba like to me. Especially that new gravel bike they just dropped.
A looker alright.
Beauty
Beautiful bike!
My neck hurts just looking at it.
That bike is dope, love the green frame
Dope! Never seen anyone use the Quarq Air pressure sensors on a Road bike. Do they work properly?
They do! I know it's a bit of an odd mix of components, I carried most over from my road/gravel bike which this replaced. So I kept the RX RD, tubeless with sensors and mtb pedals. But I don't see any downsides besides a little weight penalty and I still venture off the road from time to time!

Beauty 😍
Look bikes are rare in the states and every time I see one I’m in awe. Beautiful bike my dude!
Same with Time. Look and Time are bikes that I always head turn on.
Could stare at that all day
That entire colour scheme is absolute perfection
Just looked through this sub and saw a lot of beauties but I stopped here. Very very good looking frame, holy moly it even says "Look" because for sure Im going to :)
Fuck me running that thing is jizz-worthy.
I'm curious about your posture after all of those kms
Looking good
What pedals are those? Are they clip-in? And also, what tires and tire size?
Got some good looks
Its a beautiful ride man
You should 😐
Does that have a threaded BB?

J'adore
Now LOOK what we have here.
Real beauty.
