Look 566 - The New Road Rental

If you happen to be on our print newsletter distribution, then you should have received the latest edition recently. In there, we introduced our new road bike for 2009. Look really went on the offensive last fall and gave their sales people great tools to lock up team and fleet deals. We couldn't resist! In fact, as treasurer for a USA based amateur racing on the National Racing Calendar, our team even bought the same bike!! While we put DA on the amateur team bikes and added ultra light Ritchey wheels, stems, bars, and seat posts, we didn't have that luxury for our rental fleet. Nonetheless, the rental comes with a triple chainring, 105 groupo, that still weighs very little. As a rental, we believe we have about the best thing going! Here is a description from our rental page:

The Look 566 carbon road bike is featured on all of the Cycling Classics tours. They are brand new in 2009. Of note: the 566 is an entry level yet high quality carbon frame bike. From the Look website, you can read about the high quality carbon used in this model as well as the geometry and design features. The frame weighs in at 1100 grams and the carbon fork is another 350 grams! Total 1450 grams or 1.45kg (about 3 lbs!) The geometry as described by Look offers a taller head tube and shorter sloping top tube - a compact design to allow for more comfort for going longer and faster. We have all sizes: S, M, L, XL for people comfortably up to 1m93 (about 6ft-4in) See The Look website for more info.

Bike rental only can be booked from the link above as well. But, we prefer to rent you this bike on one of our tours! Rental rates for tour clients are less than rental only. If you plan to rent in July then we encourage you to book it fast!
