Mudsimus Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Extreamly heavy at about 1.8kg for the frame. Yes..the kx lights were about 1800g for the frame incl fork. But from what I can remember they had extremly light forks..sub 300g. So the frames were very heavy..for a carbon frame.
Old school Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Look bikes are built extremely strong. Its a class bike!
Spinnekop Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Cannondale still has better reviews....... http://www.roadbikereview.com/cat/latest-bikes/road-bike/cannondale/PRD_411984_5668crx.aspx

AndreZA Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Why not look at Time aswell then? But I would suggest just get a Planet-X for less then 7k and be original.

Alida Posted December 9, 2008 Author Posted December 9, 2008 Why not look at Time aswell then? But I would suggest just get a Planet-X for less then 7k and be original. I thought I had a clue about frames etc but now that I'm shopping around there's a zillion frames out there and all of them are apparently "the best". And to think all I wanted was a full-carbon bike that I could try and be a bit more competitive on Am now thinking that I have opened a can of worms on myself here ...
Spinnekop Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Come on Alida.......you are going to take the plunge.....might as well go BIG!!! Personally.......I think you should have a look at one of these.......
Sammajoor Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Come on Alida.......you are going to take the plunge.....might as well go BIG!!! Personally.......I think you should have a look at one of these....... Is that SRAM red??
Alida Posted December 9, 2008 Author Posted December 9, 2008 I think I should report your post Spidey!!! I was kinda hoping to find a 2008 Cannondale but alas this is not meant to be. Quite a jump in price for the 2009 frame so gotta keep shopping around.

VincentBikes Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 ..........here are some more worms crawling out of the can to have a look at......

Alida, you me, and proberbly 95% of the people here on the hub would not be able to tell the differance in performance from one frame to another. All carbon frames look the same with little nips and tuck here and there so that they can get a nice paint scheme going. Buy a 'dale and you would like like everybody else. Buy a Trek and people laugh at you. A Raleigh and people will think you are atleast trying. Merida and everybody can see you are on a budget. Get a Planet-X and everybody will think you know your stuff and get alot of stares.
Alida Posted December 9, 2008 Author Posted December 9, 2008 Hmm I wish there was an emoticon for sticking my fingers in my ears and singing "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!" So just to sum up ... there's nothing terribly wrong with a Look frame except that its not a Cannondale? Sorry Spidey just don't think I'm going to get enough together for the Dale Alida2008-12-09 06:50:05
Scalpel Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Alida maybe you should look at the 2009 Cannondale Synapse or the 2009 Cannondale Six carbon. Both of these bikes are great bikes. The Synapse is very underrated and for next year it is a beautiful bike. Just to confuse you a bit more.
