Take the Lemond and put the Campy brakes, crankset, bb, and fd on it. Then search Ebay for 9 speed Shimano 105 or Ultegra STI shifters, rear derailleur and SRAM 9 speed cassette. I bet you could find all that for less than $200 on ebay.

Assuming the wheels are still 7 speed, I personally would update them with a bombproof 8/9/10 set like open pros, which can also be had on ebay for less than $200, or even just an OP rear for less than $100.

Or if you want to get off really cheap(I think), you could switch everything over to the Lemond and run some Shimano Bar End shifters in friction mode. That way you don't have to reach down for every shift, but you're still talking less than $100.
