Second, training for and completing a 150 mile MS ride in late September with a buddy of mine who has MS. Priceless. Third, a bike to use on my trainer while I wait for the repair work. When that’s done, I can give the bike to one of my teenagers. Whichever one it fits best.
I think you'll enjoy the Zurich. I have a Lemond Maillot Jaune(2001, same frame as the Zurich with Dura-ace group) and a Lemond Victoire (2002 titanium, Ultegra), both with carbon forks, both running the same tires(28mm Panaracer GK slicks), both running H Plus Son Archetype wheels and it's not easy telling them apart on a ride. Both are very fast, comfortable bikes and fun to ride.
