Bike sold. Smiles all round.

is this bike still up for grabs...?

We have a dibs called by Rod Munch and a test ride penned for Friday. Thanks for the interest, will post whether or not the sale goes through.

That is sweet ! I love it !

Whats the saddle height ? Centre BB to top of saddle ?

Saddle height is 1005mm from ground up at a right angle - or 750mm from centre of BB to top of saddle.

As it sits, 75mm of fork above the headset, 20mm of spacers below the stem. So there is quite a range here for those looking for comfort or aggression.

My height is about 5ft 11.

alu steerer on the forks by the look of it showing through on the stem?

Yep spot on. Have left 75mm of fork above the stem thinking that I might sell.

54cm Seat Tube - 55cm Top Tube.

Stem is 120mm. Handlebars are 44cm.

A beautiful and rare, hand made carbon and lugged titanium 2006 Lemond Tete de Course is looking for a new home.

This bike is fantastic for technical riding and long descents, but really shines on century rides as it glides over rough roads like you find in Surrey Hills.
The Groupset is full Shimano Ultegra 6600 (53-39 chainset) and includes pedals. The only exceptions being a Dura-Ace chain and SRAM force (11-26) cassette.

Cane Creek headset, alloy Bontrager X Lite stem and bars. The front end is very precise thanks to the Bontrager XXX Lite carbon forks. Seat post is a very lightweight carbon Bontrager X Lite and the saddle is a specialized alias (cut out) 155.

Wheels are Bontrager Race Lite, which have been surprisingly durable and ride nicely, but they are a little soft for racing. Tyres are Bontrager Hard Case and just two months old.

Total weight comes to 8kg.

Regretful sale but I have built a new BMC Pro Machine, and this Lemond is just too nice to sit in the corner.

£980 ONO for the complete bike; or
£700 for frameset only (inc Frame, Fork, Headset and seat post).

I work in a bike shop and can arrange trade price upgrades such as a new wheel-set, bars, bottle cages etc on agreement with a buyer.

A percentage of the sale will go to the forum, please call dibs and follow with a personal message if you’re keen. Test rides welcome for serious buyers.

ITEM SOLD

I have a Thomson Elite Seatpost for Sale - as new, used four times only.

27.2mm x 330mm. Beautifully made and an upgrade to any steed. Unfortunately it just doesn't fit my Lemond. Retails at 75 pounds - will sell for 40 quid.

Pick up in SW11.

Whoever ended up with this bike has done bloody well. I have build up the same frameset with 3T, SRAM Red/Force and Dura Ace Wheels.....It's a weapon. Enjoy the new steed.

All the best with the kid too!

Not sure where you got to with your ride to work scheme, there are a few around now, this calculator might be handy for anyone wanting to play with the numbers.

Just joined - this looks a good forum. Havent seen anything like it before, good on everyone who is contributing. Moved over from Melbourne and have been in London a short while, havent gone fixed yet, but its happening very soon.

If anyone can point me in the direction of a shabby old, beaton down, outdoor Velodrome I'd really appreciate it.

Yawl stay upright ok.
