Here is my 2001 Zurich, it's a little different from stock 
A previous owner had it powder coated. I bought the frameset a couple of years ago for a song. I built it up with Campy 10, wheels are Shamal Ultra.
It is a sweet riding frame. Like many of us, I read a lot of good things about these Lemond frames over the years and I finally have a chance to own one. I can say that the its reputation is justified.

Best replacement group-set for this bike?
The red and white paint scheme of these Lemonds is my favorite. Here is mine (2001 Alpe D.Huez). I LOVE this bike. Great climber. I've done so many centuries on it over the years. The other beauty (sorry for the poor quality pic) is my ex-gf's Zurich. I love how these bikes look together. I've been trying to convince her to sell it to me for YEARS now with no luck.
I posted this question a while back in it's own thread, but since I haven't made any progress I thought I'd ask here as well... what do you lot think the best replacement group-set is for this bike? The brifters are shot and I'd like to upgrade.
(old thread here -> 2001 Lemond Alpe D'Huez Upgrade Advice Needed ) Thanks.

CT,
I really like the paint scheme on your, perhaps I will be lucky and find one in my size. I did a 25 today before it got hot and really like the ride but I am thinking I should have gone up a size on the tires, the 23's seem more narrow than the others on my other rides.
As to the question of the brifters, I only have 2 bikes with them currently the Campagnolo that came with my Ciocc and the ones on the Lemond..I do have some 105's as well as some campy 10 speeds that I am trying to decide which build will get them.
Many of my bikes have barcons and I like them very much, I am still getting used to the brifters.
Best, Ben
