Kinda NBD: Custom LeMond Washoe


After more than a year (COVID delays), my Washoe project is finally done! When LeMond released these bikes back in 2015, I wanted one so bad but wasn't in a position to buy one. Last year I managed to find one on eBay from a nice English chap, and had the bike shipped to me in the US. Unfortunately, the seller didn't realize the paint had started to bubble up . . . so off to the painter the bike went. Got her back a couple of weeks ago and finished the build last night. The ride is amazing.

Here are the build details:

Frame: 1788.5g (55cm)
Fork: 382.2g
Black Inc 42x110 handlebar stem w/ computer mount: 350.6g
Sram Red 22 Mechanical rim brake group
Chris King Headset & BB
Extralite Ultra Star 4
Extralite Hyperspacer 3D printed spacers (20mm & 5mm)
AbsoluteBLACK integrated top cap
Alpitude Superleggero bottle cages
Darimo T1 Loop seatpost
Darimo sub4 seatpost clamp
Selle Italia SLR C-59 saddle
Boyd Cycling 60mm carbon clinchers, set up tubeless with 25mm Schwalbe Pro Ones
Tririg Styx aero skewers
Jagwire link cabling
Speedplay Stainless Zero pedals

As pictured, the bike is 7.4kg (16.3 pounds). I'm thoroughly pleased with how it rides/handles/looks.
