"LOOK CYCLE INTERNATIONAL" is based in Nevers, France and has won titles in numerous races, including the Tour de France.
LOOK continues to demonstrate its strength not only in road bikes, but also in MTB and track racing. It is still fresh in our memory that TEAM LOOK, who came to Japan from France at last year's CMWC2023 sfiDALE CRIT , showed off a spectacular performance and won by a landslide.
The frame that the LOOK TEAM actually used at CMWC2023 is the "LOOK 875 MADISON RS" that we will introduce in this blog.
LOOK frames have model names assigned numbers according to their use and shape, as shown below, and frames with RS (RACING SPORT) after the model name are special specifications for racing only.
In other words, the LOOK 875 MADISON RS is a racing frame that LOOK produced with the goal of “winning races.” Of course, it does not have brake holes for riding on public roads.
However, I think there are many people who admire the 875 MADISON and want to use it for riding around town. For those people, we have secretly asked a professional to machine the brake holes , and the machined frame is back in stock!
So, I would like to introduce this custom bike that I built with the hope that anyone riding a LOOK 875 MADISON RS would do it like this.
LOOK 875 MADISON RS Frame Set ¥282,700- in tax (including brake hole processing fee)
First, let's check the frame.
The 875 MADISON that has just arrived is the LOOK 2023 model. The black-based frame features a large LOOK logo, making it a frame that looks fast just by looking at it.
The material is of course full carbon , and the monocoque construction makes it an exceptional product that combines incredible lightness and strength.
By the way, my TATSU also drives the 2017 model of 875 MADISON.
I'm sure I did a BIKE CHECK, and when I looked back at my blog, I found that I did introduce it last year, so please give it a read. It's pretty cool.
DSNV®︎ 102 FLAT BAR ¥23,100- incl. tax
ENVE M6 STEM ¥54,780- incl. tax
The theme of this custom bike is "King of Track" . I wanted to make the ultimate track bike using the 875 MADISON, so carbon parts were essential. Of particular note is the ENVE M6 STEM, it's awesome.
ENVE, a prestigious manufacturer of carbon components, boasts the best response and vibration absorption in history, and weighs an astounding 104g (85mm). The difference is clear, as the ZIPP SL SPRIT CARBON STEM weighs 167g . It's quite expensive, but if you're aiming for the fastest speed, I recommend you give it a try.
ROTOR VEGAST TRACK CRANK SET ¥75,900- incl. tax
SIGINO ZEN144 CHAINRING ¥38,500- incl. tax
For the drivetrain we have this newly arrived set.
The track crank "VEGAST" made by ROTOR is famous for being used by DOSNOVENTA riders. It is less stiff than the higher-end model ALDHU, but still has the firm feel that only ROTOR can provide.
The chainring that goes with it is the world's most famous "SUGINO ZEN" which needs no further explanation. Its exquisite precision means minimal power loss and powerful pedaling.
If you noticed the subtle change in the color of the logo, you're right.
FIZIK ARGO TEMPO R3 KIUM ¥23,699 - incl. tax
FOURIERS CARBON SEAT POST ¥16,500- incl. tax
The saddle is the upset short nose saddle ARGO TEMPO R3 from FIZIK, a recommended item at the Harajuku store. Its ergonomically designed shape relieves pressure on the soft tissue and provides stability.
FOURIERS is a new brand born in Taiwan.
This carbon seat post is cost-effective and has good performance, and its aerodynamic shape makes it a great match for the 875 MADISON.
BROTURES x HED. JET RC6 CLASSIC F ¥129,800- in tax R ¥151,800- in tax
Finally, the main attraction is here. This luxurious set includes the JET RC6 from the third installment of the BROTURES×HED. series, which was just released the other day. The JET RC series, HED.'s only fixed gear track wheel, is a long-selling product that combines a high-rigidity, high-precision aluminum rim with a carbon skin that provides excellent aerodynamic properties.
The current model JET RC is all black , including the logo, but this special order model brings back the white logo as a sign of respect for the previous JET series model.
And we have some really amazing wheels in stock, with HED. original high rotation hubs and SAPIM butted spokes.
Well, that's all for now on the custom bike introduction.
The "LOOK 875 MADISON RS" that has just returned to the Harajuku store is a one-off . It is highly unlikely that LOOK will ever sell an 875 RS with brake holes again, so don't miss this chance.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Well then.
