Thought I'd ask the experts... The seller says it has an aluminum (?) fork--but I know so little about Look cf frames I could not find an equivalent model on a blind search...

Cheers,

At first glance that looks like a KG181, but I could be off a bit.

Try searching for a kg 171 cause thats what i believe it is.

Edit or maybe as above so similar..

The aluminum fork would help narrow down the date range a fair bit. Maybe even a bit earlier than the 171, like a KG96?

Those forks went away rather quickly in the early 90s.

Thanks guys--I found a match with KG171--even with the same paint.

I also found a nice short history here:

Now--would anyone be tempted to buy one as a first (affordable) cf bike--there's one for sale in the 'hood?
