I purchased a 1987 or 1988 (I think) Greg Lemond frame on eBay ten or twelve years ago and built the bike using a variety of Super Record (rear derailleur and seat post), Record (crank and Italian thread bottom bracket). New Record shift leavers, Chorus brakes, Mavic wheels laced to Dura Ace hubs with six speed cluster, Cinelli bars, Speedplay zero pedals, and Vetta saddle. I like to ride this bike, so I did not want to compromise on braking power, gear range, or the pedals that I use on my other bikes. I have other, more period correct components that I can use if I want to enter a vintage event. This appears from the decals to be a frame that Billato built for Lemond as a tribute to his 1986 Tour de France win, since there is no mention on the decals of more recent wins. I was trying to include photos but, since I have not yet posted ten messages on this forum, I appear to be prevented from doing so.
