The thing is, you can't know the Lemond will be under you ass 10 years from now. It may get stolen, you may crash it and have to write frame+fork off. You also can't be sure that Cigtech won't clock up 20,000 miles before the denali falls apart.
Bottom line is, he's been an overall nice guy and you have not.
That's really speaking my heart out. those "elite" trying gain self-esteem by comparing their LeMond
with other's wally. There is no point at all. Their logic is like I've got more money, so I got an hummer, and it's more bomber proof than your dodge. So I am elite and your loser.
And notice that, there has been no reported problems from most of the components from the denali, which means, with some replacements, say the crankset and the DR, I think it's gonna last quite a while.
