Anyone have a shop they recommend to buy a 2021 Look 795 Blade RS Disc frame (pro team white - large) - assume it would need to be in EU somewhere. I found a retailer in Switzerland but says no shipping to US for this frame since I assume Look is worried about warranty issues and limited dealer network in US or whatever. Yes I would need it shipped to US.

I have a buyer local for my current frame and would prefer the 2021 version due to lighter lay-up and color change.

They've a couple of 795's in physcial stock (not sure on sizing), you might have the same issue re shipping to the US though

You could try Jonito in Germany. Dunno if they'd ship to US though.

I will try to get some good ones when I get home from work tonight (Australian time), but I'm a pretty crappy photographer. :noidea: However, I can tell you that I'm happy I changed from the white. The chameleon is an amazing finish and although it is a very audacious colour, it still has an understated quality to it.

I will also try to post the weights of the pieces.

Your retailer in Switzerland (Bellati) is where I purchased my frame from, and it's a pity they can't ship to the USA as Andrea is great to deal with. Have you tried Glory Cycles (Clive) in USA? They are Look dealers and worth getting in contact with.

Yes Bellati is where I was seeing it in-stock. Glad you had a good experience there.

Glory Cycles is out of stock until August or so. I have a few other leads for the Chameleon in Large in US but no one has the white. Maybe I'll go with that one - thus my request for the pics from you! The stock photos are hard to tell but I guess thats the nature of that color.

August is only a couple of months away. I ordered my frame 5 months ago.

I hope these pictures show the colour. I included a closeup to highlight the speckle effect in the paintwork.

As I'm not building this up until all of my SRAM gear arrives, I will be leaving it all wrapped and boxed up, which means no weights just yet. Sorry.

It's beautiful, but I really question how 'aero' it is given the tube profiles and sizes ...

SLH - that color is awesome - maybe changing my mind as well on that vs white like you did. I thought I could get that color in the US but looks like that color is NA either. Most online places I called said Feb2022 or July2022 for availability of anything new from Look in the US. The search continues.....
