I have 2 Lemond Team Z bikes with Billato frames. The Billato Brothers contract built frames for a lot of top name brands. While generally not fancy they were very well built.

I'm betting it rides really nice. I totally agree on the comments on the Lemonds too. All of mine are top notch although they did put the brake bridge on the GAN GLX backwards.

One day I will find one of those Team Z bikes in my size and pick it up. No self-respecting Lemond collector can be without one.

I think in about an hour I'm going to say the heck with this illness and take the Polaris out for it's maiden ride.

Your Capella is a match to the one in the 1992 catalog.
