It appears the Look Zed cranksets are only compatible with frames that have a 65mm bottom bracket shell?! It is my understand that even Look only offers one frame that fits this crank?!
http://www.lookcycle.com/en/us/route/velos/695-light-bike.html But I did find one shop that has this frameset and crankset "on sale" for $4550! https://www.racycles.com/road/look/look-695-aerolight-premium-ipack-3051 Calfee is the only other builder I found who offers a frame for this crank, but is a package deal, but it is only for its Manta Pro frameset module that retails for $6095, and includes; Chris King Inset 7, Enve/Whisky fork, Look ZED2 crankset and Praxis Works chainrings. That's a lot of money....Good Luck! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
