300 bones? Damn, I need some better friends...

Sweet ride! 18.9 does seem a bit heavy for the frame, but it does look like a very solid build.

That's with pedals and a full length Thomson post. When I get the Ti axles and Carbon post, I should drop over one pound. Also, it is an XL, so there is a LOT of bike there.

burry movement in the back ground makes it look fast
just sitting there.

training.

Just got back from my first ride. About 1hr, probably 15 miles or so. I still need to get fitted, so my knee was not appreciating it, but that's how it is.
Although the rain starting 45min in didn't help either...
Rides light, SUPER responsive! Can't wait to get it setup properly!!

I'll get some specs. It's pretty big. I'm 6'4" and I'm running a 90 or 100 stem.

Mark what does a XL in a Look measure out to be?
It's a 57cm frame, 57.5cm top tube. I ride a very similar bike, an XL 555 with 10spd Ultegra, Easton EC90 bar/stem/post, Easton Orion II wheels,

I'm currently finishing up a 585 with Force goodies on it, just got in the housing I need to complete it.
So far though, the 555 has been the best road bike I've ridden. Pretty light, solid-feeling, and reliable. The 585 will be similar, just lighter. :)

And yes, the bars are super-high in that shot, they've since been tweaked to a more normal position...
