The computer mount came with the frame parts (in the black pouch) and it can be mounted to the ADS stem.

And congrats on your Look! It is a superb looking bike!

@Leon What's the garmin mount on your stem? I tried to find the ICM mount you mentioned but the only ones I found were for the Easton stems:

It looks like the same one I have that fits my Blade RS perfectly. I got it from Amazon (there's also a Garmin version):

One of those rare products on Amazon that is actually cheap but made well and functions properly.

If you know how to use taobao theres a custom mount designed for the Look stem there. Here’s a picture of mine attached.

Hello, guys. Two months, a couple of hundred miles and everything looks great. No creak sound nor loose headset problem.
The only thing I want to check with you guys: since I brought a second hand bike, there's some small scratches in the painting, specially in the chainstay. I have the white rim brake version.
Do you think there is some specific paint color I can purchase to do some retouch in the painting?

Look 795 Blade RS owners: how do you mount your Garmin Varia radars?

Just go to the car parts shop and compare the different white colors?

On the seatpost making noise - I had this on my 2021 frame but not on the 2019. Wierd. Paste didnt resolve it and realized the end of the seatpost in the frame was probably moving or flexing slightly and hitting the internal frame wall. I put a wrap or two of electrical tape along the bottom of the seatpost and no more noise or issues.

Got told to expect a major update or replacement for 795 RS for MY23. They specified RS specifically, so I don't know if that means they're leaving the non-RS as is again. Regardless, I think they'd sell plenty of non RS framesets if they sold them at around €2k. But maybe they don't have capacity.
Any more info on this? Where did you hear about it?

Did you hear if they will be maintaining a rim brake version of the bike with the update?

There were some unexpected and steep discounts offered on framesets for a brief period. I asked why. Retailer said it was being replaced. Thinking about it, true or not, that doesn't really explain the discounts that were being offered, given how little stock there is of anything. Probably they over-ordered and needed cash flow. MY22 is the 4th year of this shape, so you would expect either further update or replacement in either MY23 or MY24.

I believe Look updated the seatpost in model year 2020. The aeropost 3 is approx. 100grams lighter then the old model.

The way of mounting the saddle is different (beter IMHO) on the 3. Google is your friend if you like to see pictures of both.
