Nooooooooo!
Look always used to be my faves, especially with the lugged 595 with it's trad geometry.
What have they done? :c

They`ve made a beautiful bike in my opinion0

they used anti-lugs.

I like the headtube / fork / stem. It sort of goes to cr@p from there back, though.
Who's that in the background? Le Stig?'This week I 'ave been mostly been climbing like Basso - Shirley Basso.'0 -

love it. one of the purest looking carbon bikes out there IMO.Up: Wilier Mortirolo
Down: Orange Patriot0 -
Hmmm. Except for the funky top tube it looks remarkably like a Trek Madone...

There seems to be both Trek & Orbea influence to my eyes.
Still looks good though.0 -
Does this mean that they wont make the 595 any more? Ive got my eye on getting one.0

Very nice. Interesting they've done the top tube kink like Specialized. Wonder what the benefit of that is, if any.0
-
I'm not a fan of that high headtube compacty shape either really - have you seen the new roubaix ??? it's really hideous and the silly plastic inserts are still there
keep an eye on the prices of the outgoing models then"I get paid to make other people suffer on my wheel, how good is that"

They originally did it with the 596 and 566. The actually stated it was purely aesthetic...
Well that's honest - I reckon 99 percent of frame design oddness is purely aesthetic (not picking on Pinawobblerello specifically
). Faster than a tent.......0 -

I'm sure I've read somewhere that Specialized do it because it helps with twisting forces through the frame.
Still, quite like the new Look, the stem looks proper cool!0 -
Don't like the top tube.
Looks like Look have been attending the Sabbath School of odd frame design.
Agree with NapD.
Traditional frame with decent paint job for looks any time.Mens agitat molem0 -

That's exactly what I was thinking!! (maybe that's why I liked it) :oops:
That's exactly why I wouldn't buy one. Pity, probably rides great,Open One+ BMC TE29 Seven 622SL On One Scandal Cervelo RS0 -
I've been riding a 595 for the last 3-4 years, first the all carbon colour end of '06, then last year under warranty, got given a new 09/10 frame with updated seatpost/ headset/ colour scheme.
I'd keep it the 595 all day long rather than than upgrade to this. I am a HUGE look fanboy. but this... got to say I'm a little dissapointed. No lugging. madone copy. ruined the back end completely.
But. It's lighter, probably slightly stiffer (595 already setting a high standard) and I love the new stem. I want one! You know the performance will have improved, but it's not ALL about performance is it 8)
I'll be interested to see it in cofidis colours and see if it grows on me a little more... (no arguing please) I just wish they ripped of that jap cr*p of a groupset.0 -
I want the new stem that is (with my new zipp bars ) NOT the frame... 0

Don't you mean "Why didn't they put Di2 on it"0 -
haha.... yeah yeah.
I'm a campagnolo man, always will be. The di2 excites me, you can't question it's performance (well, I suppose you could on here) but IMHO it looks fugly.0 -
I have to admit, the stem looks pretty smart. I am a Look fanboy too but the 566 and now this have put me off :c
Hmmm. May well keep on the lookout for a bargain 595...0 -
Monocoque and trendy bent tubes, oh dear.

So the trick is to ride fast so nobody can see what kit your using! Works for me 0 -

I rather like it, but then I still love my KG386...I'm not such a fan of most current CF frames but that is rather preeeeeetty....Your Past is Not Your Potential...0
