Look 565 Carbon Fibre Frame

RobFowl · 2012-10-08 10:23:20

Looking to swap this 54cm frame for a frame more suited for winter use! Would ideally like an equivilent Ridley Orion/Excalibur or in my wildest dreams a titanium frame. Built up at present with Ultegra but want to hold onto components. The Frame is in VGC and looks beautiful. ALways wanted a look but ride it as a second…

The Frame is in VGC and looks beautiful. ALways wanted a look but ride it as a second road bike which I don't need and now that my cross bike have been converted back to a true cross bike (was a hack/communter) need a more suitable bike for the winter.

Will post pics later

Very interested.

Not really sure I'd have much to tempt you to swap, but perhaps you would sell the frame? Will await pics anyway

Not sure you're looking for a swp but would be interested if the fit is right.

Hi dave
It's 54cms centre to centre. It's about 1.5cms shorter than my Ridley Noah and track bike (both Medium).
TBH I'd be delighted with an Orion as Ridleys seem to fit me perfectly.
It's built up at the moment if you'd like to take it for a spin (have an alloy seatpost or a carbon one to go with it btw)

That would be great Rob, thanks. I'll be back in Dublin, where the bike is, over the weekend, and hopefully can arrange a meet up on Sunday. I will say that at 54cm, it's on the short side for me, my road bikes are 55.5cm and 56 cm, my track bike being 57cm... Still, I'd love to have a look (get it?!)

I'll pm you my contact details no
