Credit Agricole Look 496

French squad Credit Agricole will be riding Look bikes in the Tour de France and at the London prologue, where team sprint star, Thor Hushovd and French darling Christophe Moreau should feature over the short course.

The Look 496 Time Trial is one of the classiest bikes in the peloton, exuding French cool with competitive practicalities. Based on the dominant Athen's Olympic track bike the 2007 496 time trial is narrower and lighter.

The front end is very similar to the BMC Time machine and features a hinge to steer creating a very areodynamic front end.

The monocoque frame is made from high modulus carbon and is constructed by hand taking over two days to make.

The Credit Agricole Look 496 is finished off with a Look Ergo Stem and an integrated Aero Seat Post combined with Shimano equipment and Pro wheels.

Oddly enough a Google search also brings up an Elizabeth Arden Dual Look Eye Pencil, which is described as such 'This versatile designer eye pencil can be used in two ways: wet for a liquid line', rather appropriate we think.
