Nice🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Le Mond made awesome bikes. I greatly prefer steel frame bikes though.
So this old man raced against Greg and i have pictures with him in the Coconut Grove 3 day race in the early 80's. He was a machine and a short guy, lol. The days of 7-11 team and shimano endorsed riders. I raced on a local mass team and tried my best to enter in the pro field with not much luck. That is a sweet machine. How much did you pay for this?
Very nice, I ride the 2007 Buenos Aires and the 2008 victorie model very nice forgotten bikes..
Awesome looks lovely and great info dude.. from watching your vids thought I would try some ceramic spray for my frames as I’m in the uk I went with Autoglym Ceramic spray and would it’s awesome makes the frame feel smoother than glass and went for a few rides and yep stays super clean, anything dirt which did stick ipwiped off so easy amazing stuff 😊😊 Pete 🚴🏻👍
Turned out great. Got the Dremel polisher on my Christmas list now to be able to do a clean, buff, and shine on the frames of my bikes. Cheers from FL.
Sweet ride! I am just coming around to their all carbon bikes. I have a couple of the steel/carbon and Ti/carbon frames and love them. Gonna be keeping an eye out for one in my size.
Better than anything trek makes today.
Love this format. Commentary, technical instruction, pontification on the left. Action on the right. Nice.
Still watching love the history your sharing that's a cool frame.
Awesome bike no doubt 👌 …
