I've always wanted one... this one popped up and was a solid 8.5/10 on the condition scale and I couldn't pass it up. (Actually, it was a gift from a family member - he found a gentleman selling three Lemonds - and that one happened to be the exact model/size I was looking for.)

I never rode one prior. I don't know how much better an even higher end steel frame would be - but this bike is buttery smooth and stiff at the same time and is fast on the flat lands.

I've set just about all of my segment PB's on this bike, including two overall flat segment KOM's and a few top 10's. The 23 year old bike is proper fast.
