Yep, it's triple because 1 -- I'm out of shape, 2 -- I take road trips to the Mountains in Vermont, Upstate NY, Western Mass and New Hampshire.
Victoire is French for "Victoria", meaning victory (didn't know the French had a word for that!!
). But ain't she real purty?

Well the seller says they're 42cm. And if that's the case, then they may be a bit narrow for me. Either way, I'll give the bike a few rides to see how they feel. If they're too narrow, then I'll put them up for sale. I can get back in w/ you if that happens, and will have an actual measurement as well.

I think that is the prettiest LeMond I've ever seen, very classy lines and color scheme, everything compliments very well.

.pics of my new ride come friday night... I'd take them now, but i'm waiting on my Eurus wheels. Taking a pic with these record/open pros that are on it now just doesn't do it justice.

I like the graphite cages. But I prefer the $15, each, I paid on sale at Performance. May say 'Forte', but who cares. Look nice, work well, they stand behind what they sell and the price is right.

Im so happy i can now post here!!!!
I finally got MY first road bike!!!!!!!! Well i consider it to be my first. The bike i was on before was an '87 (I think) Miele.
A/w it is a 2005 Cannondale R700. It was awesome just seeing it for the first time. I also picked up a pair of Nike Altea shoes, some Shimano SPD-R540 pedals, a cateye Astrale 8 computer, and a Tacx CF-one Magnetic trainer. The guy at the store was totally cool. He threw in a spare tube, two bottle cages and a free spinervals DVD, he also gave me a killer deal on the shoes. A/w i was just so excited that i had to share.
Here's a pic
Peace
Tyler
