I think I know which shop you are speaking of, and I refuse to shop there for a long list of reasons that I won't get into here. I didn't even look at LeMond bikes when I was last in the market, as I know that they don't fit me well because of the long cockpit. If you really want to try and make that bike fit comfortably, set up an appt with the fit guys at Belmont Wheelworks. As for KOPS, it, like most rules regarding bike fit, is only a guideline. Having a properly trained person analyze YOUR physiology and YOUR riding style, and making the necessary adjustments to YOUR bike is a much better way to go. It is worth every penny if you LOVE to climb on that bike.
