This is truly a super bike!!! Amazing to ride, amazing to look at and yes, usually stirs up quite a few conversations at the races...

Between injuries and work, it's not being used as much as it should. I've decide to stay off racing this year, so I'm selling it.

Right now, it's built up with 10 speed Campy Record (the shifters are changed to Return-to-Center which are absolutely awesome), Campy brake levers. The crank is of course the super light and crazy stiff Look ZedTech (the pedals allow you to adjust them from 170,172.5,175mm crank length), and the rings are almost new (less than 200 miles) 52/38 Q-Rings. The seat post is the Look ErgoPost. Saddle is Prologo Tri40 back. Note that the seat clamps had to modified to accept the oval Nack rails. Right now, the front and rear brakes are TriRig Omega, but I would like to keep those, but can include of Zero Gravity (red/black that matches the bike quite nicely). The aerobars are Easton Attack TT (size medium, modified with Profile Design arm pads for extra comfort). It's cabled with Nokon cables... The wheels will not be included. As you can tell, this has been by pride and joy with no expenses spared.

If you're interested, please send me a PM and I can answer any questions you may have.

Forgot to add size... could be useful right?!

It's a size Small, but don't let that fool you... This would be a medium in most other manufacturers books (never figured out Looks sizing nomenclature for their tri bikes...)

You can find the geometry here:

If you're looking for stack/reach, Slowtwitch is the usual place for that:

Oh, so that could be important as well?! Thanks DaveF.

So the frame (Look 596Tri iPack) is $6999 new, adding the components, aerobars, and saddle and you have a bike that's well over $8000 before any wheels are on it (which I'm not including).

Was thinking that $3800 is a screaming deal and should make someone really, really fast this year. But hey, I'd rather see the bike going to good use than sitting around in my basement, so I will listen to any offer.

Yes, the bike is just as fast as it looks! (well, as long as you have the engine of course...). My photobucket account finally decided to work... so here's some photos. If you need anything else, I can most certainly snap a few more.

BTW, if you're interested in just the frame, I would be willing to sell just that.

The iPack includes the absolutely amazing crankset, ZedTech, a single piece carbon crank with the largest bearings of any system; stiffer and much lighter than anything else... you can use compact (110mm) or standard (130mm) rings and the adjustable pedals allow you to go from 170-172.5-175mm (and yes, pedals are included). It also includes the dual position carbon blade stem (high or low) with any tilt you can imagine from that point... you can get super aggressive on short course racing and set up a different position for long course racing... The seat post is the E-post, allowing you to swap out the elastomers to fine tune the comfort and stiffness (3 different hardnesses allow for great flexibility). The fork is completely integrated into the bike and makes this thing track like it's on rails. Honestly love the feeling of "point and shoot" in high speed sweeping corners. I've made up time in races by just being able to swing around corners and descend fast, hey, free speed!

A great bike that really deserves to be ridden!

Hey I'm trying to get a better understanding of LOOK's sizing chart... Any idea on how many cm the medium sizes up to be? How tall are you? Interested in the bike, looks bigger than most mediums in the pictures but medium seems a little small for me....

I have pedals with the cage and when I ride 2+ hours my legs feel much more tired then if I took out my husband's bike with clipless pedals. Do clipless pedals truly make the difference?

I couldn’t help but feel that the race had beaten me. Perhaps duathlons were more for me? No, I was more determined than ever to succeed. I was determined to get on top of my swimming.

This life of mine is not so different from yours. It has a multitude of similarities. I suffer from uncertainty, I get nervous at the thought of registering and when getting to the starting line.

I started riding this spring with the Carnac shoes on Look pedals (with plenty of float). About five minutes into a ride I get sharp pain on the outer edge of my feet, just behind the pedal.

I am not going to buy a tri-suit before my first tri - I want to make sure I am going to stick with this before I spend a lot of money on it so I want to figure out what will work best.

I couldn't believe that my splits kept getting lower! I started to run harder after I passed the "5 km" sign and picked a few people that I wanted to pass.
