The first picture of my sportive bike for the year which just arrived yesterday.

Now, I know what you're thinking. Only Adamskian levels of pimpishness would lead a man to stick a pair of white wheels with red anodisded spoke nipples on such an elegantly crafted frame as the Look 585 Optima carbon but it seems to be turning heads already

Other features - full SRAM force groupset which looks great even if I haven't figured out how to actually change gear yet

No it hasn't got a dent in the top tube clever cloggs just some smart cross-ovalising which looks nice when you see it in the flesh

Is it me or does it look a bit squashed up? I'm sure it isn't as Look bikes normally look great.

Value isn't lined up with tyre on the front wheel properly though .

Looks pretty cool...black is the new black I guess...

Be interesting to hear what you think of the wheels. I thought they would make quite an affordable upgrade to my Fulcrum 3 wheels and would be pretty good for the sportives. Not sure about racing on them though.....

To change gear, I think you have to kick the deraillier...

Touche, yes, I'd love the mtb Look.

Don't care for the new Trek. Other bikes come in white though... arguably from the best frame manufacturer around right now...

It is very much in the pipe line though, rather than the workshop, unfortunately...

That looks like a lovely saddle and such classy handlebar tape


Now get your haircut Williams.

Looks like the greatest saddle in the world to me!
