Look 875 Madison RS Track Bike Frame

The Look 875 Madison RS: A Classic Track Racing Bike

The LOOK 875 Madison RS is the type of bike we think of when we think track racing. It is a classic looking track bike produced using the highest quality modern materials. Named for the type of races in which it will excel, this is a bike that will also turn a lot of heads if you are thinking of taking it on the road in Red Hook-like races.

But if you do want to roadify this baby, please don’t lose touch with his deep roots in French track racing. It has been developed with the input of the French Cycling Federation and its athletes, so they have really gone all out in making it lightweight, super stiff and aerodynamic. It is a carbon frame and fork that has received the same attention to detail as LOOK’s Tour de France-bound road frames. That means that the carbon layup has been made from a blend of different types of high-end carbon fibers in order to make it as rigid as it needs to be for serious track use. Then other types of carbon has also been included in the mix to help the frame withstand some of the wear and tear that results from the rough and tumble world of track racing. That’s one reason it does also translate well to those insanely wild Red Hook Crit races where disorder can often be the order of the day.

Aggressive Race Geometry for Performance of the Look 875 Madison RS

There’s no way anyone is taking this bike on long epic rides, and it hasn’t been designed to accommodate those sorts of things. It has an aggressive race geometry that will expect you to be a bit flexible in the saddle. There’s no beating about the bush or compromise here. The frame of the Look 875 Madison RS has a bolt axle, so it’s hardly going to be your commuter of choice. That bolt axle will just make certain you’ll have the stiffest performance and precise handling. The integrated headset is included in the frame purchase, as is the seat collar to fit the 31.6 seat tube diameter.

Available in five sizes, the LOOK 875 Madison RS should offer the right fit for most heights. This is a bike that goes beyond the fixie craze and performs well enough to carry Olympians to medals.
