that's pretty sweet. It's been a few years since I owned a Look, it was a KG381i, jalabert edition.. old school by todays standard but it was a classy ride, and they've stayed classy clearly :-)

That should buff right out... At least it appears you came out better than the bike.

Jap thank god.
Only 3 broken ribs, some bruises, painful knee. Really luck considering and maybe skilful last second reaction that didn't hit the car head on...

Hey Thomas,

Been over a year but hoping you are riding strong and in good health.

I took have a LOOK 566. Would love to discuss some ways to lighten mine up a bit.

- Did you swap out the stock seatpost collar?

- What skewers are those? I have some Dura Ace skewers on some Mavic Ksyrium SL wheels. Very nice skewers but not the lightest.

Don't have the funds for the one-piece stem/bars you have but would like to swap out a few things to lighten mine up, if possible.
A good day becomes a better day with a bicycle ride.
