I like my Zurich so much, I couldn't resist getting another when I saw one for sale. This time a hand signed Greg Lemond Malliot Jaune. I'm trying to decide whether or not to switch everything over. The seller also decided to leave on the Campy headset. :)

^Build up the frame so you have two zurich bikes.

Might have to do that. :)

One Zurich, One Malliot Jaune

2001 (?) Lemond Victoire
 

http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=407800Just bought this. The seller says it's a 2000 but he purchased it in 2001. I didn't think they started making this until 2001. Can anybody confirm? 59cm, Full Ultegra.

Just researched Le Monde bikes. Not many reviews out there. How does it ride? Whats its weight? Should i get one? (Hope that one senior member doesnt quote me saying how insecure i am by asking questions. Lol)

Amazing bike. I foolishly sold mine a while back and it was an amazing ride. Great climber, super great frame and components.

Just recently finished this build. Absolutely love it. Frame signed by himself. :)

Amazing rides. Best value for the money. Make sure the geometry suits you. I have a long torso and short legs and fits me perfect.

I love the retro look. Its such a luxury to get one of these if you already have a bike. Some day..

i know its a little irrelevant but what do those weigh ?

Well the Brooks saddle doesn't help but I'd say 21/22 lbs maybe a tad bit more.

Ridiculous weight (rel light) for such a beauty! I had a 2013 specialized cx crux that weighed 9 kg with pedals, sigma speedometer and 2 bottle cages. I guess you are quoting gross weight with all the shizzle. Thats my cx experimental past (wish i could show a picture of a Le Monde):

Almost 30 years from then and we talking 1kg difference between a road bike and todays cx bike. Not much changed :)

My 2005 Etape entry level but a nice ride, was going to sell it but can't seem to part with it.http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=407926
I replaced 52, 42 chainrings with 50, 39, small ring is 30, and put 11/30 cassette on it, it's now my hill country bike.

Arrrrrgh! I fell in love with a Le Monde yet I got talked in to buying a Fuji tour that I never rode. it would look so nice next to my Motobecane mirage sport that I didn't keep.

Somebody shoot me.

Weighs 19lbs. Haven't ridden it yet.

Ha ! Wrong. Funny. But wrong.

hot

niiiice. just getting back on this thread after a period of time.

Is there a consensus about which model framesets are the most desirable? I've got an itch for an 853 Lemond frameset to put some Campy I've got on it but I don't particularly want the carbon/steel models.

I think they made the full 853 frames from about 1998 to 2003. The top lines were the Maillot Jaune and Zurich. Then came the Buenos Aries, Tourmalet and Nevada City, in that order.
You can find old catalogs on the wayback machine.

If I ever see a tete in my size I will probably buy it.
