That is a beautiful bike, thanks for posting pics. (next time take off the valve cap and put it in the big ring though)
The 595 is amazing- enjoy every pedal stroke!

VERY nice! Really love the look of LOOK's... and this bike - white frame with black Zipp wheels (especially nice with the 08 white Zipp decals) is a ver nice choice...
Maybe black bar tape to match the saddle? But in any case the white ties in nicely - thanks for the pic...

Congrats! What a beauty. That was the exact frame I was going to use for my build. I changed it at the last moment for the 586. I wish we were closer so we could A/B them!
Much luck and enjoyment!

awesome bike mate. is it only me but does DA ruin the look of a hi end frame. those big levers, cables all over the place. and that crank. i'm glad the 7900 has internal levers. and not a polished look to the crank anymore.
next thing get 7900 for that bike.

How does it ride? I am looking forward to a test ride very soon.
Beautiful bike! Loving the white with black wheels.
Hi
Great looking machine.
The build is all but the same as mine so weight won't be far away either.
I guess your bar/stem combo and the wheels are a tad heavier but there won t be that much in it.
Have you got adjusters on the gear cable entry to the frame ?
Have you ridden the bike much and what do you think of ride, performance, weight etc.

Nothing in the wheelset (basically rebranded Miche supertype wheels that I weighed at 1332g which is at most 50g more than 404s) and although the stem is a bit of a brick at 210g I'm probably not giving away much more than 100g overall which makes mine sub-16lbs. Woohoo! Also means my Synapse (which feels exactly the same weight) is pretty light. Result! And yep, got cable adjusters on the down tube (which to be honest are pretty useful as I find I'm having to make more gear adjustment than I'm used to - rode my MTB for an Enduro at the weekend and couldn't believe how sweet the XTR drivetrain shifter compared to my DA; must be something wrong here!).
I'm loving the Look. Not ridden it nearly enough yet (use my 'dale for crappy weather i.e. most of the time) but I still think its the best bike I've ever ridden (had a C40, C50, plenty of 'dales etc.). Just love the fast feel of the bike - rides like a real racer and despite weighing over 14 stone it feels stiff as you like. Plus I never bore of looking at it (although I'm quite liking your monotone - perhaps I overdid the red highlights!).
Enjoy your ride
