Look is a brand with an extensive history in cycling. It’s also a brand that is incredibly proud of their French heritage.

Looking to pay homage to one of their more iconic moments in French cycling history, Look has released a limited-edition version of its 795 BladeRS racing bike called “Ciel du Nord,” commemorating cyclist Laurent Jalabert’s first stage win at the Tour de France, which happened to be a stage that started in Roubaix, France. The special edition bike features a grey-blue and pink gradient paint scheme meant to evoke the atmospheric conditions of that historic race day. Each frame is hand-painted at LOOK’s facility in Nevers, France, making each bike unique.

The 795 BladeRS serves as LOOK’s racing platform that is well suited for cobblestone racing conditions. The bike balances aerodynamic performance with vertical compliance to handle the rough pavé surfaces characteristic of the cobbled classics. The frame accommodates tires up to 32mm with a T47 bottom bracket system, aero seat post, one piece aero cockpit, and disc brakes.

LOOK offers the Ciel du Nord edition in two configurations: a complete bike with Shimano Ultegra Di2 R8100 12-speed groupset priced at approximately 7.6 kg, and a frameset-only option. The complete build includes Mavic Cosmic S42 carbon wheels, Continental GP 5000 TLR 28mm tires, and LOOK’s integrated carbon components including aero seat post, stem, and handlebars.

Each purchase includes commemorative items that match the theme with limited-edition Keo Blade Ceramic Ciel du Nord pedals, a puzzle depicting the 1992 victory, and a special edition bag. Only 167 frames and complete bikes will be available, with pricing currently set at $10,700. Look for one a few of these bikes to be raced by Look sponsored teams at the 2026 Paris Roubaix on April 12.

Good luck selling these at that price. The Blade is a great frame, but its essentially a paint job for an extra $4K.
