As some of you know, (most probably don't however), I work for Look Bicycles, the French company that brought us the 1st clipless pedals & 1st Tour victory on a carbon fiber frame.

As there seems to be a solid road bike following on here, I thought I'd drop some links to Look related stuff to get your juices flowing.

One of the nicest looking bikes I've seen in a long time:

If you have any questions, drop me a line.

I want a 585 but alas I have too few funds to actually own one. Of course, I would be such a poser on one anyway.

I have a set of the CX-6Ti pedals on my lemond.
I also have a set of the A5.1 pedals on my trainer bike.

585 is a great bike...I don't ride nearly as much as I should, but when I do, it's a great bike to be on.

My history with Look is pretty funny...

I was working for Bell Sports & one of our sales reps loaned me his bike, a Look 281. After spending a weekend on it, I was sold. It was the nicest bike I had ever ridden (for me, given my riding style, size, etc).

By chance, I left Bell Sports & went to work for Veltec, the US distributor for Look. I worked there for 4+ years & then when Look started up the US division of their company, I was asked to come aboard & run the sales division.

So that's where I find myself...having worked with the brand at 2 different companies, after having fallen in love with the bikes proor to it all.

I use Velomax (now Easton) Orion II's on my Lemond...talk about Veltec sports.

Funny thing about my CX-6Ti's...I got them brand new in the box from a bike shop going out of business near me for $140 out the door! They were 40% off the originally marked price- of course, they mismarked them as the regular Cr-mo spindles and were underpriced to begin with- yea for me!

I tried to win a tangerine 585 in the Bicycling magazine "Win any bike" contest earlier this year. Sadly, I lost.

Csquare, you are a fortunate guy to have found a career in the bike industry. I've been a roadie for 30+ years and involved with BMX for 8+ years, and my only regret is that I've never been able to translate my passion for cycling into my profession. Keep up the good work!

Didn't Greg Lemond and Bernard Hinault ride Look's while on Lavie Claire?

CD,
I feel very fortunate to have found a career in this industry. In the 20+ years I've worked in it, it's only actually felt like work a few times.

KK, yes, Lemond & Hinault both rode Looks.
