the first look branded frames, those 1st gen carbon fiber frames, were originally marketed as a product of eclipse incorporated. it was a product born out of their ideas and research. there were legal and related problems and the frames, once marked 'eclipse' would end up 'looks'. and the rest is non-ferrous (rhymes with 'don ferris') history. e-RICHIE Richard Sachs Cycles No.9, North Main Street Chester, CT 06412 USA http://www.richardsachs.com Tel. 860.526.2059
