Watch out, Coors Light is becoming popular among hipsters because PBR stopped being ironic when everyone started drinking it. That bikes gonna get stolen and turned into a fixie.

Nice. I believe those were built by Clark-Kent cycles in Denver on behalf of Lemond. Click HERE.

It's a cool paint job in that I believe it was the only year that Coors Light raced on Lemonds. Here's a pic of Alexi Grewal on one.
Greg Oravetz won the US Pro championship on one that year as well. They went to Serotta the following year. My dad bought it new in 1989/1990. It originally had Dura Ace 8 with downtube shifters on it. He rode it for a couple of months before getting a custom frame made. It literally hung in a garage for 18 years or so before I inherited it (Dad is still alive, just riding slower bikes now) and started riding it.
The Record group came from a good friend of mine and a hellacious cyclist. He's kind of a celebrity in the community in fact.
