Lemond Zurich 2005 Full Ultegra steel/carbon 55cm
Posted: Mon Jun 09, 2014 4:38 pmOwn a bike proudly sporting the name of the only American to have won the Tour de France.
I am selling my Lemond Zurich 55cm road bike. Colour, Blue/carbon weave.
This is not my orange steed that has graced many a club run but the next model up. It is one of the last of Lemond's "spine design" bikes that had top, seat tube and chain stays in carbon, with the rest in steel, making for a very comfortable ride - springiness of steel with the buzz-absorption of carbon. The bike has had very little use - I believe I am only the second owner - and is all original, even down to the wuss-whiskers on the shoulders of the Bontrager Racelite tyres.
Frame OCLV 120 carbon/ OX True Temper steel
Fork Bontrager Race X Lite
Groupset Ultegra 10 speed (12-25 in back, 53/39 in front)
Wheels Bontrager Race Lite
Bars and stem are Bontrager
Seatpost is Bontrager Race X lite carbon-wrap

It has a sloping top tube so nominal size is 55cm - I have checked this against my own bike and geometry is exactly the same. It will therefore fit somebody from 5'8" to 6".
New, this bike retailed at £2,000 (RRP on my Buenos Aires was £1,699). It is in exceptional condition so I am asking only £850 ono
