I had Lemond honor a lifetime frame warranty on a used Victoire and I got a brand new Tete de Course frame as a replacement because there weren't any Victoires left in the warehouse. Lemond and Bontrager are owned by Trek. I was charged a measly $50 for a top of the line RaceXXXLite fork as I simply could not have a non-matching fork on that sweet Tete frame!
I had a rear hub fail on my '05 Sarthe w/ Race Lites ('06 & '07 use Race) and I got a free new rear wheel w/ a revised hub design in about a week. I'm considering buying another wheelset as I've lost some faith in Bontrager.
Those '05 Race Lites only had about 500 miles before hub failure, while my '04 Race Lites on another bike have about 6,000 miles and have been virtually flawless. I reckon it's because they stopped using DT Swiss hubs in '05 --- stupid move by Bontrager.
BUT I would probably still consider purchasing a new Bontrager equipped Lemond if I were ever in the market again. They do stand behind their product.

Nice. I think you and I might be the same size, because that's exactly how I'd have one built. (Damned stumpy legs!)
