53cm Lemond Alpe d'huez. This is my rat rod bike. The paint was stripped from the frame leaving a very unique look. The frame has been clear coated to help keep the bike from catastrophically rusting.
Kind of a cool patina look to it, making it look 30 years older than it actually is.
And one of the sad realities of life. Invest a lot of time, energy, and money into a build, and one actually decreases its value.
The Lemonds seem to hold their value, but he is a little ambitious on the pricing.
