Ok, here's my new Lemond I got as a replacement for a defective frame from my 03 Ti- Victoire. Although the whole process took a few months to get the new frame from Trek-Lemond, it was worth the wait. I dig the overall look and got a chance to ride it over the weekend and compared to the Ti it rides like a hot knife through butter. (The Fulcrum's are also a big step up from the Race Lites I was used to. I've also trimmed down the steerer tube since this pic.) I think seeing the frames and colors in person is quite a bit different than what you see on their website.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Well, a month ago I bought a 07 Triomphe Zurich. I haven't seen a picture of these bikes that do them justice. Even though it's carbon it has a classic aura about it. Man, I love the way mine rides. It climbs so well I can sit back with a cup of coffee reading the Sunday comics and I've made it over the crest ready for a fast descent.
Best of all it "feels" like a Lemond bike.

I have a 02 Nevada City. I have had it 5 years now and I still love it. I know its not their high end model. I will be upgrading the groupset to campy centaur in a few months and I have upgraded the wheels but I still get compliments about the bike (blue and white) I wouldn't sell her for the world.

The Tourmalet appears to still have the old style, which I have to admit I like better. The new jobs aren't bad, I just like the look of a "classic" Lemond so much better. Never actually owned one, though I did almost buy an 04 Poprad.
I think I'd like it better without the deal overlapping onto the seat tube. As it is, it reminds me of the gar fischer hybrid I used to have
er, just the paint though.

Now, the new Madone is looking better to me, with similar geo, and easier to size (two models)--and, a larger size that would work a little better for me than the current Lemond, but I'd like to try both.

Here's my 2000 BA I repainted w/o the color field around the logos, so I could get a cleaner look.

It's a 2005 Versailles. I should mention that it's for sale sans the Spinergy wheels.

I've got an '06 Zurich. I bought my bike because I thought the steel and carbon was pretty unique. The new LeMonds really don't seem to be all that special.

isn't that aluminum and carbon mix now? The paint isn't bad but the aluminum/carbon spine technology is what RUINED the bike. Glad I got a 2006 Zurich. Steel and carbon! Ride is awesome.

A Lemond Etape was one of three bikes I was choosing between. I choose not to go with the Lemond because it used shimano componenty and I was lied to about the frame at the LBS. It is in fact made in taiwan. I found a croix de fer which was very nice, but it to was only available with shimano, which pulled it out of the running.
