LOOK 585 Optimum. Horizontal top-tubes represent

TomvanHalen

Sitting here in my dressing gown waiting for the post, so I thought I'd post my LOOK. Also the frameset's for sale, so if you buy it, post it here so I can see if you do it justice or not.

Oh my Lord - beautiful! Especially in that it looks like a steel frame!

Don't be insane! Sell it and you'll regret it for the rest of your life. You won't find another!

Obviously, I'm biased as I have one just the same only white and full of Campag. It's also a size smaller and has a slightly sloping top tube.

That is gorgeous, if mine I would never sell it.

People keep saying these things, but I still have too many bikes and too little money. Though I've managed to not sell it for two years now and I won't let it go for less than I know it's worth

Well that's simple then. Post pics of your other bikes and we'll tell you what you are allowed to sell!

TomvanHalen

Oh go on then. Moot point anyway, none of them are worth as much as the LOOK frameset and I have another perfectly good road bike frame

I'll never sell mine, i don't know what I'd do if anything happened to it because I've had plenty of frames that have been and gone but the Look is still here, faultless.
If I find another 585 ultra in medium I'd buy it as a reserve.

3 other bikes. Clearly you don't have too many bikes. Keep them all and sell something less important like a kidney.

@Bozman - lucky you aren't looking for an Optimum or you'd be having to fight me for it!

Just another 585 would do, beggers can't be choosers, you don't see many for sale and it needs to be a medium

Ahhh, but the Optimum has different geometry......

I'd love to swap my Optimum for an Ultra. Really need some Deda deep drops and a -17 stem for a good fit, but the parts are all from my racing bike which has a 14.5cm head tube

And she's finally been sold. Farewell my love, we'll always remember the good times ;____;
