Frame finally arrived.

A few problems already. Frame does not have enough clearance for the pioneer power meter on drive side.
Seat post clamp bolt came siezed up. :roll:

No problem on the non drive side but there is a boxy bit at the bottom which causes clearance issue. Hope this helps.

What bottom bracket are you using? I'm using a cheap rotor one which I want to replace asap.

Hambini. Fixed a creaky BB on my last bike with hambini so this seemed like a safe bet. Token is the recommended look bb but read it uses undersized bearings so servicing bearings may become an issue later.

I had a feeling you were using Hambini, how difficult are they to install?

Not difficult at all. I used a cheap bb pressfit tool without any issues. You can also DIY a tool with a threaded rod and a pair of nuts with the included press adapters.

This bike is heavy! I asked for the weight of the disc brake frame size 54 and fork individually.

My look 795 is running Dura Ace 9120, not too difficult to install. You will need to buy longer shift cable housings because the default in box ones are too short. In terms of ride quality, it feels very very stable like it's stuck on rails and is also surprisingly quite plush.

^ what was your last bike and was the geometry hard / easy to dial in for the LOOK vs previous bicycle?

Not light indeed. Size M and current build is 8.8kg :noidea:
Can bring it down to 8.2kg if I use a smaller cassette and climbing wheels with latex.
