And pretty much lugged too. That LeMond may be steel, and early '90s, but it is the last thing I'd consider classic or vintage - the oversized fillet-brazed frame and those decals have no character - it looks like a failed, modernized adaptation at looking "vintage," no offense to Ilikebikes intended.
Now if it had been lugged with oversized Columbus EL tubing, that would have improved things, although those "LE MOND" downtube and seattube decals still stick out like a sore thumb.
