I like my Zurich so much, I couldn't resist getting another when I saw one for sale. This time a hand signed Greg Lemond Malliot Jaune. I'm trying to decide whether or not to switch everything over. The seller also decided to leave on the Campy headset.

Just researched Le Monde bikes. Not many reviews out there. How does it ride? Whats its weight? Should i get one? (Hope that one senior member doesnt quote me saying how insecure i am by asking questions. Lol)

Amazing bike. I foolishly sold mine a while back and it was an amazing ride. Great climber, super great frame and components.

Amazing rides. Best value for the money. Make sure the geometry suits you. I have a long torso and short legs and fits me perfect.

I love the retro look. Its such a luxury to get one of these if you already have a bike. Some day..
i know its a little irrelevant but what do those weigh ?

Ridiculous weight (rel light) for such a beauty! I had a 2013 specialized cx crux that weighed 9 kg with pedals, sigma speedometer and 2 bottle cages. I guess you are quoting gross weight with all the shizzle. Thats my cx experimental past (wish i could show a picture of a Le Monde):
Almost 30 years from then and we talking 1kg difference between a road bike and todays cx bike. Not much changed

My 2005 Etape entry level but a nice ride, was going to sell it but can't seem to part with it.
I replaced 52, 42 chainrings with 50, 39, small ring is 30, and put 11/30 cassette on it, it's now my hill country bike.

Arrrrrgh! I fell in love with a Le Monde yet I got talked in to buying a Fuji tour that I never rode. it would look so nice next to my Motobecane mirage sport that I didn't keep.
Somebody shoot me.

Not a great pic, but my BA as she looked for the opening day ride of our 13th year together:

Is there a consensus about which model framesets are the most desirable? I've got an itch for an 853 Lemond frameset to put some Campy I've got on it but I don't particularly want the carbon/steel models.

You can find old catalogs on the wayback machine.
If I ever see a tete in my size I will probably buy it.
