This bike looks like it's made of carbon fiber and it's got brifters. What is the bike and what component group is he using?

It is a Lemond Badged bike made by Calfee.. Most likely riding Campy Record 8 speed at that time..

That helmet looks like it weighs 3 pounds.

When I was searching for the name of the bike, I discovered Merlin, Clark Kent, Litespeed, some Italian outfit, and of course, Trek, made Lemond bikes. Didn't see Calfee but now that you point it out, it does seem obvious. Thanks.

The older Giro's were one crash helmets, but they saved my head on more than a few occasions..

Look at the end of the brake lever. It has a pyramid shaped end which indicates teh very first generation Ergopower of 1992. Yes 8-speed with delta brakes. Couldn't tell you anything about the frame though.

If I remember correctly, that frame was CF tubes bonded with CF or Alum lugs of a sort. Those are web-like gussets at the tube junctions. This was long before Lemond had any affiliation with Trek.
