    very neat! finding the original fork and seatpost clamp will be a challenging…if not, impossible

  2. 2008 Chinese national team Look 596 track frame for those wondering.

    Introduced for the Beijing Olympics to celebrate being host/ fan service on home turf. Team China went back to off the shelf Look framesets and toned down this “loud and proud” livery to custom vinyl decal overlays in their colors at most for 2012 Olympics and onwards.

    This is definitely worth something to collectors, especially in China.
    If you want to complete this bareframe, Look 596 parts are key- small-parts should be interchangeable with the geared version. Fork too but rake may be specific to track version. Possibly the same since the 596 was conceived originally as a time-trial bike.
