Did LOOK make steel framed bikes

[seddo]

AS above - did they make lugged steel frame bikes ?, looking(pardon the pun) at buying one, it has LOOK pantographed on the seat stays. Any help appreciated

cheers

Yes, LOOK made a steel bike back in 86 but it didn't have the seat stay "LOOK" pantograph. I saw a fake Look steel bike a while back with a LOOK seat stay pantograph. Do you have pictures of the bike in question?

ok

As Look didn't actually have a background in bikes, I'd think any steel bike was sub-contracted to the likes of Cyfac or one of the Italian builders like Billato or Viner.

There's a thread on the Retro-Classic board of RBR with a discussion on the LaVie Claire 753 team frames as ridden by Hinault etc - some beautiful examples:
