Look KG86 Tvt Shimano Dura Ace build

[OnTheUp]

Thought i'd post a few photos of my Look Kg86 (1986) build. Bought the frame a couple of years ago and thought it was about time i built it up. It's a 62cm frame, so the largest frame size they made these in i believe. Dura Ace parts with Mavic rims.

I used a DA 7700 chainset as i couldn't find 180mm DA7400. Not had the chance to use it much over the Scottish winter but the glaciers seem to be shifting now!

Anyway....

Re:

That's huge!


Looks like you have 650c wheels in it as a result!

Would have liked an original seatpost, but it probably wouldn't be long enough for me anyway.
I'm 6'5" and it's actually still a bit small for me if anything

Thanks for the comments. Hopefully be heading to Mallorca with it at some point this year.

Just returned from a great 5 days in Majorca. Well over 300 miles and 27000 feet of climbing. I don't know why people buy new bikes this thing is fantastic. Only had to tighten the 1R stem daily apart from that never had a tool near it.

Few photos... (yes the rear light looks stupid but there are a few dark tunnels to consider)
