Re: Look 555 vs Kuota Karma
Both high end, pricey framesets. Both likely to be equally great in their own way. Any chance of a test ride to decide?

(With regard to the Look): Carbon frame? - yes. High-end? - no. Entry level? At A$4600 for Ultegra/Aksium, definitely not!!!! Nothing wrong with Look frames but the price, but that is a big but!

The one that its her the best. If both do, the one from the best bike shop, if no bike shop, the one with the best warranty. If both have same warranties, the cheapest. |

lol Both are from the same LBS (which is probably the best in town). Per the salesman, both would fit her. The cheapest (100$ less) is the kuota...just for the brand name I would go with the 555 but I think kuotas have come a long way now...

The fit of these frames is quite different. The Kuota comes in more sizes and generally has a shorter top tube relative to the seat tube. Choose the one that gives you a better fit. |
