Jeff, Bikedud and other Lemond Owners:

My Nevada City (aka LeMonster) is done and on the road. I'll post pics of it this afternoon when I get home.

I originally was going to build it up with Tiagra double parts but have been slowly getting Ultegra triple parts over the last several weeks so I ended up building it with a mixture of Ultegra and DA parts. The front derailleur and bottom bracket are DA and the rest of the components are Ultegra.

I haven't moved my bike computer from the K2 to the Lemond yet but I'll be doing that this weekend.

The bike rides like a dream. The only change I'm going to make to it is to put a longer stem on it. I managed to bang my knee on the end of the bars this morning while climbing a hill out of the saddle. I didn't realize I had broken the skin until I was almost to work and saw some blood runnig down my left leg.

Anyone want to buy a used K2?

Zack

Sounds great Zack! Aren't LeMond bikes great?? I've been having a blast with my Tourmalet.

I ride the same bike.....a little heavy but, under my big frame it flies on the flats.....I love my LeMond. It's all stock SORA right now. I figure I should learn to ride/race correctly before I drop any $$$ into her...

Good choice man....here is this years colours...i have it in Silver with Blue "LeMond" decal....
