Hello. I have a GL Ventoux with the Shimano 600 group on it. It has handmade and Greg Lemond engraved into the brake bridge SN: 050401 on the BB. I bought it at least 12 years ago, love to ride it and just was curious if it's a Billeto or someone else. It's from Ten Speed Drive Imports and their SN: 06323.

Thanks!

Billato did make many of the early Lemonds, but not all. Given it's from TSD as you say, it's more likely to be Billato than some other builder, but pics would help the experts (which does not include me).

Yup. Pics of your bike are now required. :)

I remember hearing from a frame importer/distributer back around 1993 that some of the steel LeMonds were built in Columbia by Canopus.
