Wanting feedback on Look KG361 with Centaur drivetrain, Vento wheels
I'm looking for any comments that folks out there might have on a road bike that I am considering purchasing. It is a new Look KG361 with Centaur drivetrain and brakes. Likely it will have Campy Vento wheels, although I may possibly upgrade to Scirocco. Seatpost, handlebars, seat etc. should be "decent", according to the vendor. The price is ~2500 CAD (approx 2140 USD at current conversion rate). Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks, --Marc Riehm, |

Without question Look is the finest riding carbon bike I have ever road. I
am 45 and have tried most of them and owned quite a few. These bikes have a perfect ride and finish. Might not be the lightest bike but what is a few ounces to the average rider at 19 - 20 mph average. If you climb the Alp's then a few ounce's might matter. Great bike go for it. |

Larry wrote: Without question Look is the finest riding carbon bike I have ever road. I have heard many good things about Look but wonder at your blanket statement. What makes it the finest riding carbon bike? Is it stiffer or softer than others? How does it track on a fast downhill and how does it turn at slow speeds? My experience is that different riders will rate ride characteristic differently based on personal preference. So, for example I love being on an extra stiff frame. One of my best friends and a rider well matched to me prefers a softer ride. Is one "better" than the other? Only in terms of our preferences, So, I think, the best advice is for the OP to ride that frame and decide if he likes it for himself. No question Look makes good frames, the issue is will the individual rider prefer it (or not) to others. |

And you belong minding your own business. The guy has a simple question and
may not even know of any other groups. So instead of being a jerk why not just try and help. http://www.bikyle.com/Look2005.asp "John Forrest Tomlinson" wrote in message ...

I told him about two groups which are appropriate for his questions. That's actually helping him. And you belong minding your own business. Why is it that you can object to my providing good facts to someone? Please step back, take a deep breath and think about it.

Who gives a ****? He is looking to buy a bike, but he's asking technical
questions. Life's too short to correct people's sentences, too. |
