So, I just got another frame. Full carbon Look 496 Time Trial/Tri frame. The previous owner said the seat tube was off by 1mm, so he warrantied it. We threw it on the stand, and it is fine. The seatpost might be crooked, but the Seat tube it straight. I love stupid, overly picky people. :bonk:
After the race next weekend, I an going to strip down the 481 and build this bike up as a true Tri-bike. The 481 will be built up as a 105-10sp, full carbon build road bike when I get cash.

The picture is crap as it is from my cell phone, but it gets the message across.

Nice frame. I really don't understand why LOOK frames are so damned expensive. are they really that much better than others? I mean, $10 grand seems a bit excessive for a frame!
