Good looking bike but it’s a few years out of date really isn’t it, this is maybe what the last version should have looked like.

Once again, they seem to have missed the point every person that have loved Look in the past have expressed as the reason for not getting another since the 595/485 days: “ way too many proprietary parts (stem, seat post, crank)”!! I thought surely this one would be more like the Huez recently released in that regard.
Too bad. I guess I’m now I’ll wait for the new Time to come out as I have just taken this off the table altogether as a potential bike to get!!

Not willing to buy it as i am into italian bikes but in my eyes it is the nicest 2018 aero bike. Proprietary seatpost and stem is common for new bikes, it will be so in the future for the sake of cable integration. So nothing to complain about, it is aero bike..
It's an adjustable seatpost with four different setback positions. They're probably just taking an average of those four resulting positions for the purposes of the geo chart.Monkeyfudger wrote: ↑Tue Oct 30, 2018 8:53 pmGeo chart showing a SA of 75.8, can’t be right surely?

I'm struggling to decide between this bike and the Huez.
For an n=1 guy like me, The Blade is a very intriguing option.
I live in an awesome riding location where I'm near both mountains and flats for days. So something that is aero, but also doesn't hold me back on the climbs, really appeals to me.
I don't race, and I'm not the fastest rider around though, so I'm not sure I'm going to benefit much from its aero properties. I'm not exactly slow either though as I can comfortably hold 30 to 35 kph on the flats in calm conditions on my current non-aero steed.
I also think it's a stunner, quite a bit nicer looking than the Huez, but that of course is purely subjective.

I thought I liked Huez and hated the old 795 aerolight, I’d never seen either in person though so went and had a look. In person the Huez was “nice” but it didn’t actually have anything going for it whereas the 795 was absolutely stunning even though I used to think it looked like a shitting dog, go and see ‘em in person, you never know how you’ll react.
Got to agree with this. I'm always surprised at how different frames can look in person Vs in pictures...Monkeyfudger wrote:I thought I liked Huez and hated the old 795 aerolight, I’d never seen either in person though so went and had a look.

I suspect that when the Blade RS becomes available it will take away from 795 sales dropping its price. May be wrong but something to consider. And as much as I hate integration and proprietary parts, can deny that when you look at price alone the 795 is not bad given it includes the crank, seatpost, headset, and stem!

Here's a test by an Italian webpage (easily translated by Google): https://www.cyclinside.it/web/look-795- ... una-prova/ Quite positive.
Which size? Please keep us informed. Size M would fit me perfectly (the first aero bike ever to do so), so I am keenly interested
