Lemond Etape (2007 I think) smaller size

Posted on
  • Here is a bike for sale. It's not that light, it's not that bling. It's a bike. Bought for my wife years ago, she never got the reckless abandon needed for riding on the road, so this has languished indoors for ages.

    It has more dust than mileage. I reckon it's done than less than 100 miles, none of those in bad weather. Everything is in excellent condition. The frame has the usual nicks and scratches on the tubes but the paint is thick and there's no corrosion.

    Set-up is a mix of Shimano 8-speed. There's a Tiagra rear mech. A brand new Shimano triple front mech (replaced about a fortnight ago). Sora level shifters. No brand calipers. Bontrager 52-42-30 triple chainset (170mm crank). 12-26 rear cassette. The most bog standard flat pedals.

    Forks and seatpost are carbon. Well they have some carbon wrapped round them. Impress your friends. Saddle is a female-specific SDG. Stem is the stock 80mm Bontrager. Bars stock too. Double thickness bar tape is a bit rattily applied but does the job. The only slight issue are that the tyres are the same vintage as the bike. They hold air but I wouldn't vouch for them long-term. As above the front mech was broken but this was fixed with a new one.

    Basic geometry:
    Seat tube = 490mm
    Effective toptube = 525mm
    Current reach = 485mm
    Current saddle height = 695mm
    There's room to go smaller or higher. Stem flips. Seatpost is long.

    Price wise I'd like £110. Unless you think I'm utterly off, then shoot me an offer. Dibs fine but please follow up with direct message so we can confirm. Bike is in Bromley but can deliver in south-east London or jump on a train with it.

  • Interested for a friend but not sure on size, how tall is your wife?

  • Hello. She's probably five foot seven. Its not a female-specific frame geometry so reach is probably most important.

  • I ride the same size frame and I'm about 5'7" with a 30" inside leg. I like smaller frames.

  • Sold subject to collection.

  • Hello, if this doesn’t for any reason get collected, please let me know. I’m interested in a ladies good commute bike, this could have been good.
    Thanks
