Look 566 Carbon Road Bike

The Look 566 carbon road bike is featured on all of the Cycling Classics tours. They were 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 from 1m60 (5'-3") up to 1m93 (about 6'-4") See The Look website for more info.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Where can I pickup the bike?
Answer: any hotel you book in France or at our office in Lunel. We ship up to 5 days in advance of your pickup date to ensure a timely arrival. . You must make all arrangements with the hotel you book and get their agreement to receive the bike box, hold the box until your arrival, and any other related matters. There are no refunds on our part if a hotel refuses to accept a bike delivery. Any additional charges for 2nd attempted delivery are the responsibility of the renter and will be added to your invoice.

2. How do I return the bike?
Answer: You must keep the shipping box that it came in and break it down for return shipment in exactly the same way it arrived. We will include return delivery lables. If poor packing leads to bike damage, the renter is responsible. The box must be ready for pickup on the morning of the end date of your reservation.

3. Can I change out parts: stems, cranks, powertap, etc?
Answer: No. Parts cannot be changed in the shop before shipping and we do not want customers taking our bikes apart. If you disassemble any bike to change a part or add a power tap or make any other modification without our express written or verbal agreement you assume full responsibility and make yourself liable for additional charges if the bike is returned in a condition that requires any additional maintenance.

4. Can I rent a helmet?
Answer: No. Only for pickup and drop in Lunel.

5. Can I rent a car mounted bike carrier?
Answer: No. We do not carry anything that can be mounted on a car rental, and which would void your car rental contract.

6. Can I mount panniers on the bikes?
Answer: Only on the hybrid Scott P3. The carbon bikes take no bags except a saddle or handlebar bag.

7. Can I rent a trailer?
Answer: No, we have a few trailers and they are exclusively for our tour clients.

8. Do I need to bring tools?
Answer: only a pedal wrench. We provide basic tools for flat tire repair. You may wish to bring a chain tool and spare link if you are capable of fixing a broken chain, but it is not required. No other tools are needed.

9. Can I get a smaller/bigger bike?
Answer: No, unfortunately we are limited to the sizes of the frames shown above only. There is nothing more we can provide. Shorter or taller people should bring their own bikes from home in these cases.

10. Can I get maps and route itineraries?
Answer: No, unfortunately, but we reserve this service for our tour clients. This is a specialized knowledge we have from years of experience and lives spent on these roads. We offer this knowledge in our tour packages only.
