Got a screaming deal on a 2002 LeMond Buenos Aires!
All Ultegra. Just needs a slightly longer stem!

I saw that ad-- and I wondered who was going to get it. That was a smoking deal. But you probably don't have a place to keep it-- I could probably find a place to store that Sirrus if it would help

Yeah, if you're going to parade a bike that new in here I guess you have to give up the price to justify it

Yeah, I bet you would!! But as luck would have it, I do happen to have just enough room for this one. (and 1 more that is in the works...)

I really didn't get into it. It was a straight forward, and quick transaction.

I'll put a longer stem on it & a slightly wider bar (both of which I have on hand), and also some black bar tape.

It's the newest in my stable:
1972 Triumph
1987 Basso
1987 Specialized
1990 Miyata
2002 LeMond
