853 frames are desirable IMO. I wanted one and found a 1999 Schwinn Peloton on paybay for cheap as it had no fork. I built it up w/ Tiagra 9 speed. It was the 59x59 size. Problem was the top tube was just too long for me and it had to go. I can ride a 60cm 80's frame but it has a top tube of about 57cm usually.
Perhaps the Lemond name will help the price for you. I am guessing it's tig welded which may have hurt the price I got since lugged would have been nicer.
8 speed tri color is tasty stuff. I was trying to sell mine around Christmas '10 which is a bad time of year to sell. It took a long time and finally went for $375.
