Lemond Sizing?
I'm looking at a used 57cm Lemond but was curious about sizing. I had read somewhere that you should go down a size in Lemond, is this true?
Previously, I've ridden a 56cm Felt, 57cm new Bianchi, 56cm old Bianchi. Would it be pretty close?

LeMonds are measured C-C, so they will be a little bigger than frames that are measured C-T and much bigger than frames measured to the top of the seat tube (like Trek). LeMonds also tend to have slacker seat tube angles and longer top tubes, so you really should take some test rides to see what size works best for you. Some people do prefer smaller frames with longer top tubes.

Thanks Johnny.
It's used so I've only got one size to try, but I'll give it a go and see what happens. If it doesn't fit when I get there then I've only wasted a few dollars of gas.
