I have an opportunity to get a 2003 Look KG361 frame and fork for about $800. I'm planning on putting Ultegra tripple parts I have on another bike on it and using it for climbing rides. First, is this a good deal? Second, would this frame make a good climbing bike. I'm trying to keep the cost down, I've had an aluminum bike for 3 years and I really like the look of the Look.

Thanks for your input,
Chris

I've seen better, though. They have discontinued the 361 but it survives now as the 451 with some changes. I had one for a year and it is a great bike-fairly stiff yet really comfortable and stable. How big are you? If you are smaller it will be a better climbing bike. it isn't ultra light but with a triple it should prove to be a good climbing machine. I got rid of mine ONLY because I got a great deal on a new KG 461-a little lighter and a little stiffer, FWIW
