Ok, I am big fan of LOOK bikes. I have and still do today, a LOOK KG281 and once had but since sold, a LOOK 585. My buddy texted me five minutes ago that he had just bought a LOOK 675 off the 'bay, a near-mint fully-equipped Shimano Ultegra 11 speed demo bike from a bike shop in Florida for $2100 shipped. I thought he got a really good deal and congratulated him for winning the auction but I also told him my honest opinion that I thought the 6-series LOOK bikes are the ugliest of the bunch. :D We are close buddies, he was not offended at all, we just laughed.

Well I just scored this 1997 GT Zaskar today not quite as aero as your buddies. :)

I think these bikes are one of the better looking aero road things.

I like the top tube to stem transition.

Better hope it fits.

I like it a lot! I have a 695 that is amazing! I would definitely ride the hell out of that one if it had Campagnolo on it. :beer:

Actually I kind of dig these, good deal for sure. Plus color matching housing = winner!

I actually think they look pretty cool. looks better in smaller sizes though, less head tube awkwardness.

I thought it was one of those Chinese knock off until I did a Google search.

Is this a tri bike?

It looks like he'd always be riding uphill.

I can't explain why but I love that frame with the a-stem.

It's actually an endurance road bike according to Look. Not that the geometry or looks really make that obvious (note that there's almost no saddle-bar drop on the one in the OP).

I think that thing is hideous. Just can't stop staring at that front end. And I usually love Looks.

The eye of the beholder, and all that. It's unique.

Looks are cool and very unique. With every new model, it takes me a long time to start to like them. These are growing on me. They look quite nice in Mondrian colors. But as everyone seems to be saying lately, "I'm not quite there yet."
