Would you spend £8,000 on a bike? Of course not, it’s obscene – and it’d probably get nicked anyway. But if you enjoy self-restraint head to next weekend’s Rouleur Classic, where you can feast your eyes on the world’s most finest cycles. The event takes place in London from 2-4 November, and this beauty from Look will be among the many tempting bikes on display. The French brand started out in ski bindings and clipless pedals, before finding fame in 1986 when Greg LeMond won the Tour on its first carbon bike. This model is sleeker, lighter and more aero than ever – it weighs a cat-like 5.9kg. There are few extraneous frills – this bike is all about the purity of its precisely engineered frame, every aspect of which has been designed to optimise efficiency. We can but dream (zyrofisher.co.uk).
