Dave,
If that bike were my size, I'd sneak into your house and steal it.
Still miss my Bob Jackson 753 that broke. Had an identical component spec to your Look too. Magic carpet ride.

Also I think it's important to note; because you can't really tell by the picture, The frames have a light Pearlescent coating. |

Those are beautiful, and pretty unique. What was the model number of the Look made of 753? They switched to lugged CF by 1990 or so didn't they?

There wasn't a model number for the 753 frames..They were the first venture for LOOK into frames....In 1988 they came out with the carbon KG86... even that frame was a re-badged TVT.

I heard from one source that they were made by Scapin, but I also so another source saying they were made by Cyfac. I guess that is still a bit of a mystery?
If anyone has a 58 or 60 they don't want, let me know.

If anyone has a 56 they don't want (are you reading this abarth), let me know.
BTW - the 73.5 is the STA / the 73 is the HTA on the 56.

Very gorgeous bikes. I remember lusting after one of these back in the Hinault-LeMond days.
You guys are lucky.

Odd as it seems now, Velocio had to fight for the adoption of his derailleur. Cyclists, used to fixed gears, initially resented this innovation as a badge of weakness.
Velocio suggested a test be run. In 1902, competitors rode a mountainous course of 150 miles. The rider on the derailleur bike won hands down. Still Desgrange would not concede:
"I applaud this test, but I still feel that variable gears are only for people over 45."
Said Velocio with admirable restraint: "No comment."
