Is that a triathlon bike? It looks a bit tame for an off road XC and it could definitely be intended to be used in a triathlon.

Second photo looks tricky. The wheels seems on different lines because of the shadow.

Yep, at that weight it wouldn't be out of place under some budgie-smuggling lycra enthusiast!!
I can handle the rear end...haha but the front end looks like a hyena...

I think they missed the boat with this one.
Look got there first with the 986.

They also have a dually version that comes in at 10 kilos factory build.

I kind of like them even though they look constipated and angry.

Wow- interesting, they look very similar. the LOOK has a integrated seat post but the Mondraker doesn't...
Yeah for me its a love-hate relationship...I'd love to race one but hate to pay for it...!!!

Are different stems available?

Also, their photoshopping gives me a headache... i dont know why bike companies dont just take a normal photo of a bike.
The chain stay is not straight to the front axle as well.

It is different but I don't mind it. It looks as though it'd feel every small bump though............

That's fairly decent - I could justify that amount. Though it's not the integrated seatpost model as seen in the pics in this thread.

Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder and I certainly wouldn't say a lambo is ugly considering some of the things that mainstream manufacturers like Toyota (Prius, Camry), Nissan (Cube, Micra), Ford (Taurus) and a few others have put out there.

i like the 'LOOK' bike better, the way the seat post looks is much nicer then the mondraker.
good to see bike companys pushing the way bikes are made, a slight look at the future ay.
