I have a Le'mond Reno that's about 5 years old. Hoo boy, the "L Word" is not permitted in this house after Greg slagged off on Lance. Lance is worshipped around here. (Husband loves Lance the way I love Rush. Yeah, it's that serious. The dog is named after Armstrong). I once asked my husband what he would do if he somehow acquired a LeMond bike for free. He said, "Sell the bitch on eBay and get a Trek. I wouldn't even throw a leg over the LeMond!" He actually got this bike for a fraction of what it should have cost. It's practically new, and he traded tennis and sport coaching to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can say this though, if you're a serious cycling enthusiast, you will definitely notice the quality of your ride with the more dollars you spend.
