Look kg231

[biggs682]

Ok I now it's not steel but it does have lug's a 90's Look kg231 with a carbon frame and newer forks oh and alloy lugs / frame joints.

One previous owner from new who converted it to a single speed commuting machine within the last year .

What am I going to do with it ? Not sure might leave it as a single speed bike and then ??

Does it have a flip flop hub? if so convert it to fixed and use it as a runabout.

No flip flop

Is it meant to be a flat bar bike, or has someone been messing around with it?

No flip flop

Thats a shame

 

[biggs682]

Thats a shame

I have 3 bikes set up with fixed gear at the moment so hardly an issue

All part of the conversion to commuting bike

11 miles of commuting on this today along with some adjustments all went well

Needs a few gears though i feel

A bike without gears is like a day without sunshine . ( l know l highjacked the sentiment )

 

[biggs682]

If I need more gears then I need to find a fr mechanism hanger to fit on these

Haven't seen that arrangement before, would a clamp- on adapter fit between the studs ?

 

[woodbutcher]

Carbon tubes. Maybe not ideal for clamping, esp as they were still figuring out how to use CF when they made this.

I spoke as someone who knows diddly squat about carbon .....l live and learn

 

[woodbutcher]
