Greetings from Bellevue, WA

New here. My first bike was a Murry High-Jinks banana seat followed by a want-a-be BMX Huffy. My childhood friend smoked me on his Mongoose Expert and I soon followed with my own. The nicest bike I've owned, which I wish I still had was the 97' Specialized M2 Comp with 105s'. Bought it brand span-ken new.

Now, on the search for a 55cm LeMond Zurich because 'steal is real.'

Thanks! It seems the year 01'-03' in 55cm is a very hard find. As I'm getting back into cycling and repair, I may have to broaden my search for that classic "high-end" steel. I'm a sucker for "TOTL" steel of the yesteryear.

Like hi-end audio, cycling seems to be another wallet-killing hobby and just as addictive. I got a lot of reading and catching up to do.

Saw a LeMond Zurich about a month ago on Middle Fork Rd. Was surprised to see one. The owner said it was going to be buried with him. Best of luck on your quest.
