I actually contacted him last year when I got the ok to build my dream bike, but I couldn’t wait that long. It was over a year. I thought I would enjoy speccing a dream bike but it really stressed me out and in the end I brought a demo OPEN. Lazy but way more cheaper and no faffing with kit.

Put together a domane alr5 and it’s pretty close to what I want from a dream bike. Room for big tires and no gimicky(imo) road bike suspension.
Also standard threaded bb.

I too have been tempted by this. Yeah f bike racing returns I may cave in and get the new Quintana Roo aero road bike. Clears 32s

2004 Tourmalet! I still have mine as a trainer/roller bike.
Surprised those wheels have lasted this long in regular use…I cracked the rear rim in about 8 months.

Given how pristine this looks, my guess is that this lived in a garage pretty much unridden up until a few days ago…

Oh wow, I just noticed the “aluminum” sticker. I forgot they stopped making these in steel at some point.
Those brake calipers have the best cable adjusters. Everything shiny and knurled

I saw a beautiful, ancient, lugged Lemond on the lakefront yesterday. It was green and said “greg LEMOND” on the down tube. Very beautiful bicycle.
I’ve always liked lemonds
A buddy of mine did a bunch of work on my house with me and then expressed interest in my Midnight Special so I gave it to him as payment. He wouldn’t take it flat out so he made me take his Ti Lemond Victoire in exchange. Nice guy
