Identification of Lemond Reno
I recently got a Lemond Reno (so say the decals) from a coworker for $50 dollars. To the untrained eye it looks like it's in decent condition. A few dings and scratches, but no major dents, very little to no rust. It needs some love, but was garage kept.
It is light blue in color and I have the serial number if that helps. WTU001440 and ends with another number and letter. It also has "L 250 57" etched on the bottom of the frame next to the serial number.
I would like to work on it myself and learn the ins and outs so I thought the price was right for a starter. Any help in identification on year, etc would be helpful, thank you.

I have not been able to find any images of Reno's with this sky blue/powder blue/corn blue solid color paint so I'm a bit confused. It does not look like it was rebadged, they all look original. I will try to post pictures this evening.

Is it this one? https://www.bikepedia.com/quickbike/B...Reno&Type=bike
$50 is a great price, regardless. Enjoy it.

Thanks JYB. It is definitely not that color, it is more of a corn flower blue. Is the color list on bikepedia comprehensive or only a list of the colors that have been submitted?

Ha, well I'm definitely more colorblind than I thought. I didn't even read the color data. Honestly, I'm not sure what sources the site uses for information. If you click on the other years available, match the components. It is possible some information is missing - I've found gaps and inaccuracies in the past.
