Next gen LOOK
Moderator: robbosmans
In the end I'm only sad about Cofidis trading Campa for Shimano.
They went all French with bikes, wheels, even their outfit with helmets and clothes... and in the end they equipped their bikes with an Asian groupset when they could have maintained an European one, one that's just a few meters away from French territory.

You know Cofidis is a French team, not Italy so they don't have to stick to Campy (not to mention teams with Pinarello, Bianchi and even now Colnago don't mind using Shimano groupsets and wheels at all...). Even before they suddenly started pretending an Italian team, I remember they inconsistently switched between Shimano/Campy/Mavic/American Classic/Fulcrum. And once Orbea? Some year models of LOOK 795 didn't support Campy EPS ... while almost designed as electronic-only.

Why on planet earth are PR people using huggly XXL bikes for promotion, the Koga was a joke and this one seems to follow the same path!

Boring in the sense that it looks exactly like 90% of the high-end all rounders of today (supersix, tarmac sl7, wilier filante ...).MarshMellow wrote: ↑Sat Dec 31, 2022 8:29 pmDescribe the what's and how's of a still bicycle looking boring, or even how 'boring' describes an inamimate object.Yoln wrote: ↑Sat Dec 31, 2022 3:18 pmTotally agree, what a boring looking bike compared to the 795 Blade. Honestly the only reason why Look is still an interesting brand, is thanks to their bold designs. We don't need another French version of the boring Orbea story
Perhaps you're just over-yolked?
I was expecting something as distinctive and different looking as the 795 was when it came out.

The Koga was a pretty normal size. Probably a 58 or 60.C36 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:22 pmWhy on planet earth are PR people using huggly XXL bikes for promotion, the Koga was a joke and this one seems to follow the same path!

Walscheid's example is probably a 64. With how (relatively) little seatpost is showing, there's no way that is a 60 / 61 / 62 at his height (1m99) and leg length. Whatever it is, I highly doubt Look produce one that big except for him.
Either way, compensation triangle at the headtube is small, and downtube pretty skinny. Might end up faster than the 795 due to the better looking fork integration, cleaner front end and maybe dropped stays - though I suspect they'll be very close to each other. They didn't exactly go full aero on it. Or anywhere close. Also close to zero shrouding of the rear wheel by seat tube and around seatstay junction - are the T20-like stays (designed for big shrouding) really going to be optimal?

The big deal is what it'll cost.
These days people don't ask for ride feel it seems!?

That was my initial impression too and another shot slightly more clearly shows the extended NDS chainstay.
