I sent him the headset manual pdf to verify that all the pieces listed there come with the headset he has. Waiting to hear back.

Seller also made me aware of the 'shorter' top tube. I was surprised by that. Only 52 on a size M frame. I would have to get a longer stem to help with reach. Not a problem. The stack looks to be fine, over 16 for the head tube, but i'll probably need to use most of the 300mm steerer with spacers. That will have to be figured out over a few rides i guess.

Good find and with reference to some of the LOOK 585 pix..40mm maxiumum spacers under the stem...Just for info. Start with 40mm, lots of 10mm spacers, and adjust..You can always make the steerer shorter, not longer("Iv'e cut it 3 times and it's still too short!!')...With 5mm on top for clearance, Clarence.

That looks sweet. Questions please. What size frame is it. And what is your axle to top of saddle measure. Thanks.

Fingers crossed the headset is complete. Hope the news is good.

Lucky to find NOS. At least I think so. I like the lugged carbon. Had that on a 2001 colnago c40. And also threaded bottom bracket. Threaded is good, although on the colnago I did have to send the frame back to Italy because the aluminum sleeve started moving a bit.

(Moments come and go where I tell myself, buy a new Look 785 Huez or 765 Optimum. Get a lifetime warranty. More money up front, but some peace of mind. Also, these current Look frames use PF30/Token ninja tf-841 bottom brackets, so threaded if I understand correctly. Or at least less chance of bottom bracket creaking).

And yes, that's a lot of spacerssss...hoping i won't need too much...but comfort is king these days. Maybe an ever so slight rise to the stem I end up with? Gonna try 110, then 120...I'm on 100 now...

Fit will be new. I will try myself. Try and match current bike. Will order a group with crank that matches my current crank length. Match seat height and set back. The front end will be new, exciting.

But won't hesitate to seek help at a shop.

I wasn't aware of the tangerine color, and it's absolutely lovely!!

As much as I like the Tangerine, I think they could have done a better job with those gray panels or maybe left them off entirely except for the lettering.

Thanks, I missed that.

Just got this back from my local painter who polished the frame and recreated some of the decals. I personally think this is a great colorway.

I kinda like the gray...it matches perfectly with a 6800 group. I've considered moving that group to one of my other bikes many times, but it just looks like it belongs on the 585.

Thanks. It's not my size, but for my daughter.

Agreed. Looks really, really sharp. Lots of 585 aficionados want that one.
