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.

Ah, thanks for the correction and help with finding the catalog page. Indeed, this is a 2008. Much appreciated!

That's about what I paid for it, so sounds about right. Thanks for the help!

I hadn't considered selling the saddle separately, but excellent advice. Cheers!
