Look 585

Speaking of the Cyfac Cadence, there's a nice looking medium frame FS on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Cyfac-Caden...ry!05055!US!-1

I've been watching for this in my size for a number of years now. Yep, Tangerine and you don't see many. Lots of people are not fond of it...but I call it "unique". Let me know if you find one in a S or XS. And I'll watch for a Large as well.

Wonder if someone can tell me what kind of headsets and bottom brackets these Look 585s use, please. Is it a threaded bottom bracket?

Waiting on seller for some info, like the year, but the photos don't look like it has a headset. Small photos. Bottom bracket looks like threads.

I'm looking at an Optimum. Never built up.

Oh, and maybe the seat post diameter? Looks like it doesn't come with headset, seatpost, or bottom bracket.

I've looked at a few reviews, but haven't found any detailed info, yet.

thanks

My Look 585 Optimum has an English threaded bottom bracket and 27.2 seat post, Looks came from the factory with their own proprietary headset installed.

At a casual glance a Look doesn’t appear to have a ‘conventional headset, theirs is sort of hidden.

Hope this helps.

No headset = no buy in my world. You need all the pieces to make it work. These frames have removable races and they’re hard to find. With no headset it will be far more trouble than it’s worth IMHO. Can you post pictures?

BB is standard English threaded.

Seatpost is 27.2 mm.

It's a bit of a blur, but I was able to blow it up a bit and it seems evident now there is no headset...does come with seat post clamp...

really, would a headset be hard to find for this?...I don't need a headache, that's for sure...

will wait on seller info for the year and who knows, maybe he has a headset?...

I think it will be hard to find the bearing races. Without all the pieces I wouldn’t buy it. Perhaps someone else has an idea.

Still available as a total kit. Just adjust the price of the frameset down down telling seller 120.00 for solution in headset plug and play is why you are adjusting your offer.

Might could be sourced cheaper, but this is the baseline as far as I am concerned.

I think anyone that has ridden one can attest extra effort to attain what extra these offer on the road rolling worthwhile. How much 'extra' coin that means is $ubjective to your lu$t for one I gue$$. They run cheaper than the VRX and LTD Addicts for the most part, give you a little room in the wallet perhaps.

Never seen that before. But yeah, if that’s available you’re probably good to go.

I egged a user here one to grab an XXL Origin on eBay when we both started getting direct highly discounted offers from seller. his shipping was high to PNW, And I have an XL already nor need a bigger one. I connected to that sale asking seller a few questions.

But the PL user that got it was 1500 mile closer to shipper. Add the coin for that kit on Amazon [he sent me the link that link clearly belongs in this thread], still reasonable all in cost IMO.

I don't see a point in time I will release my Origin that is stripped to nude sporting 11s Campy.

That looks nice...

thanks for this info...it does help...and it appears you are right, the look headset might be a problem to source if the frame doesn't come with it...i'm checking with the seller...

I would contact a shop in France which sells Looks or has contact with them. Or being in France maybe you will have success contacting them directly.

Need to a bit more specific about the headset. Is it just the headset bearings? Or the metal insets and couple of other bits that sit in the headtube?

If it’s just the bearings, those are widely available.
