Value of LeMond Sarthe?
I have this LeMond Sarthe and am wondering what it is worth. I believe that it is a 1998, so not really vintage, but I do not know a whole lot about bikes and would greatly appreciate input from the experts here! I have tried researching online, but prices are all over the map. I know prices will vary based on location. I am in an urban area where biking is prevalent.
I bought this bike used five years ago from someone who babied it. The person I bought it from said that they had upgraded a few components, but I don't recall what. Obviously, the saddle has been changed out with a Brooks saddle. Since I bought it, I've ridden it lightly. The chain is new and I had some brake work done as well as standard tune-ups. It's in great shape except for a couple of paint chips on the frame.
Any guesses on what it's worth?

I believe that your Sarthe is newer than your estimate. I think it dates to 2008.
Here is a screen capture of the 2008 catalog page.

Sell the saddle separately, unless you want to give it away.
