We are excited to present this LOOK KG 171 Team ONCE replica, finished in the iconic yellow livery famously raced by the ONCE professional squad. While this particular example is not an original team-used bike, it faithfully reproduces the specifications, geometry, and aesthetic of the models ridden by the team during one of the most successful eras in professional cycling.
The KG 171 represents LOOK’s continued innovation in carbon frame design during the mid-1990s. Built with a lightweight carbon construction and meticulously engineered tube shapes, the frame balances stiffness, strength, and compliance, delivering responsive handling and efficient power transfer. This makes it an ideal choice for riders who want the ride quality and feel of a pro-level racing machine, even in a replica format.
Fitted with high-quality components in line with the professional builds of the period, this replica captures the spirit and technology of the ONCE team’s racing equipment. The frame geometry is designed to support an aggressive, race-ready position while maintaining stability and comfort over long distances. Every detail, from the tube shaping to the finishing kit, reflects the standards of professional road racing, allowing enthusiasts to experience the feel of a team bike without the historical race provenance.
Visually, the yellow livery immediately evokes the iconic presence of the ONCE team in the peloton. ONCE was known for its distinctive colour scheme and bold graphics, which made the team’s bikes instantly recognisable in races throughout the 1990s. This replica faithfully captures that aesthetic, making it a striking addition for collectors, fans of the team, or anyone who appreciates the history and style of professional cycling.
Although it was never raced by a professional, the KG 171 Team ONCE replica offers the same geometry, handling, and ride characteristics that made LOOK bikes so effective in the pro peloton. Its lightweight carbon construction ensures a responsive ride, while the design and build quality allow riders to appreciate the technical achievements of mid-1990s racing bicycles.
For collectors and cycling enthusiasts, the LOOK KG 171 Team ONCE replica is an appealing piece of cycling heritage. It celebrates one of the most iconic teams of the era, offering a tangible connection to the design, technology, and style of professional racing, even in a non-race-used format. It is both a functional, high-performance bicycle and a visual tribute to the team that dominated the peloton in yellow.
