Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Which Lemond frame and what components? I would be interested if it is what I am looking for and you do decide to sell.

I have had some VERY confident salespeople try to tell me I'd be good on a 52-54. Standover looks fine on most compact geometry frames in these sizes.

I'm 5'7" and ride a 48!

I actually thought it was a 50, but Serotta doesn't put size stickers on the frame and direct measurement confirms it's a 48...
