Looks like the guy needs to get a divorce? Might as well walk around w/ a sticker saying "Im a p y & my wifes got my balls". Bad choice that poor fella has made.

Actually genius, the entire name wouldnt fit in the box, board wouldnt allow it, which is why there is no "r"
Maybe you should invest in a brain, instead of an "r". Infact, next time you want to try to get into a conversation, or a pissing match w/me, let me know ahead of time? That way, I can check my brain @ the door, and we'd be even.

Maybe Lemond has become a fixie loving hipster in his old age? Or at least has a fixie pixie he's trying to score with? That's the only reasoning I can come up with for the looks of the bike. Nothing wrong with the price, but if it's going to be in his honor seems like it should be tied in with him somehow.
Imo, wouldnt it have been a smarter decision to make a replica of that 86 bike, instead of passing off an updated version of it?
Wouldnt have a problem w/ them making say a few hundred "collectors versions" of an exact replica of it for the $7k, but the current one, as you said, has nothing to do w/ him or that 86 bike.

Also, if LOOK had made an exact replica of Lemonds 86 bike(as say a "super collectors edition" of like 150), I might have been more inclined to buy one, regardless of the $7K tag. Theyre trying to sell an ugly bike imo.

And yet in his OP he would have paid $3000 for one in his size. He's learning.

this one was doomed half way through the first post.
I'm only surprised it hasn't been a bigger train wreck.
In fact I'm a little dissapointed. You came strong out of the box, but then some conciliatory, even reasonable posts, bled the life out of it.

Ya, most of the posts are like a pack of wolves circling their prey waiting for a hint of fear or the smell of blood and once that fine line is drawn and crossed it's in for the kill so to speak. I have never seen a forum with so many threads that go into a tail spin for no real reason as I have here.
