Congrats OP!

Seems you got a real deal there! Can't help you with the BB I'm afraid but I hope you enjoy yours as much as I love mine!!

Congrats on the great find! I have the same model (albeit repainted by now) and as far as I remember I just installed a basic normal Campa BB guide - I might have to have cut a bit of the guide for the front derailleur as it didn’t fit in the short internal tube behind the BB.

Look used to have some information on their website, but I think it is all gone now. I'm shocked that no one has put together a simple enthusiast page.

When information was more current in my head, I thought mine was a 2007 (replacement fork). This is a few years ago, after I just put it together...

pretty sure that wasn't available in 2017. did you mean to type 2007?

I built mine which looks the same as your frame in April 2005

Yup--fixed it

Only because I had that 585 clear-over-weave and graphic theme around 2005 -2007 and it rode great!!! Then a bike shop cracked the seat tube in a stand.

Crushed; frame(lit)/me(figuratively).

They were cool about it and got me a new one from LOOK asap. I was fortunate in that they were still available at the time of crushification.

I kinda want a back up.

I crashed into a kangaroo a few weeks ago on my 585, snapped one arm of the fork clear off. The frame looks OK but I wouldn't trust it. This is very sad. Wish I had a backup.

2007 or 2008 pro-team white, size small.

Recently picked up this fine example of this legendary bike. Coming from a Ritchey Road Logic and another Tange Prestige frame, it is a natural fit with very agreeable ride qualities. It is also wonderfully light, tipping the scales at 15.0lbs. I understand why it has such a venerable reputation.

I used to own a 585 until it was stolen. I replaced it with a Hampsten Maglia Road built to the geometry of the Look. Then this one appeared on Facebook Marketplace and, well you know the rest...
Its not my favorite Look paint scheme, but that won't effect the ride. I have a Campy 10 speed Chorus groups that has been sitting in boxes waiting for a frame. Now I have the frame.

Excellent! Importantly, it appears the fork and headset are original and intact. Overall condition is good? These frames incorporate a lot of what people here like: no internal cable routing, 27.2 normal seatpost and an English threaded BB.

Looks good!

I was watching the one that was on eBay that someone posted on the Barn Finds thread, and resisted. I would like to try one that has the original fork, just to reassure myself that I'm not missing out with my aftermarket fork.

Can someone check my math here?

According to Geometry Geeks, the Look 585 in a medium supposedly has a reach of 386mm: https://geometrygeeks.bike/bike/look-585-2008/

Checking the geo chart, and calculating it, I get a different reach.

585 geocharts:
https://ep1.pinkbike.org/p4pb14497764/p4pb14497764.jpg

This should just be virtual top-tube - setback from BB (B - E), right?

Calculating my own E here:

sin (90º*- STA) * A1 - we want A1 because it meets with B in the diagram
= sin (90º - 73.73º) * 530
= 0.27982901 * 530
= 148.3mm - this matches up with the E in the chart

The virtual top-tube B is 545mm.

545 - 148.3 = 396mm for reach.

This seem right? Thanks!
