The bikes are gorgeous, click on through to see them all…
The Japan model donates a portion of the proceeds to their tsunami relief efforts, but the rest are just for fun.
Look USA will have a good collection of these on hand for shops that need to get one in for a customer, or you can special order it with your own signature painted on the top tube. Lead time is about six weeks for custom orders.
$6,599 for the ipack frameset.
The Greg Lemond victory anniversary edition comes in matte black. Only 695 of these frames will be made, each is individually numbered on the top tube. Sold as a frameset with the their fully integrated crankset, headset, stem E-Post for $7499 (This frameset is what Look calls the ipack).
Complete bikes for both are also available with various builds. For comparison, a standard painted 695 runs about $5,999.
Comments
At first, I thought it said they were donating €10,000 (not ¥10,000) per frameset and wondered how expensive the thing must be to cover that. Nevermind.
Sorry…but FUGLY comes to mind.
Will the LeMond version come with sour grapes too?
For a 25th anniversary bike I would have rather seen some sort of remake with dt shfiters and remake delta brakes. Did even ride a Look branded frame? Pedals, yes but frame? This bike speaks nothing of GL’s win. Heck, there’s isn’t even any yellow on it.
On a side note I don’t think much of Lemond’s character.
Love the paint jobs…. love the stealth look the anniversary bike. To bad Look had to go and ruin it by involving lemond… would definitely consider buying it if it wasn’t for that fact.
LeMond was the greatest.
can you make it more like lemond’s bike cuz I don’t like lemond anyway?! wtf?! by sour grapes do you mean roadie “whine”?
Because nothing evokes the classic 80′s cycling nostalgia of Greg LeMond like all black, nude carbon.
Seriously, WTF? Can anyone point to a single thing on this bike that pays homage or even references Greg LeMond other than the 25 sticker?
On the other hand, please give me two, the bike is sick.
They should celebrate LeMond being right after the indictments
