I don't know what it is about LeMond's for sure but they have always cought my eye. The LBS that I like to go to carries LeMond. I was actually considering picking one up this summer until I learned that they closed their doors a few days ago. Too bad, nobody else around here carried LeMond's.

So baj, are you saying that you did not like your bike at forst? I just pulled up a picture of the one at the LeMond site and I think it is very very SEXY! Is yours the same color scheme as the one shown?
Also, I am looking to do something to my Reno to kind of personalize it, any suggestions????

Maybe some different bar tape (like camo pattern or something like that) for your bike would be cool. Maybe even some silver sidewalled tires.

How are you liking that Reno? If My shop had the '04 or '05 in stock (white and red scheme) I would be riding a Reno today. Of the '06 LeMond aluminum models, the Reno is the only one I liked the looks of at all.
Cheers,
Brian

Baj, take a loot at this Cinelli bartape. The yellow, red, and green striped tape would look great on your bike. Or, the splash style too. -D42

I wanted an '04 because I liked the white/red paint scheme, but my shop didn't have any and I was tired of waiting. Plus they gave me a really good deal on this one ($850 new).

I am loving the Reno so far, I wrecked it the other day but I think that everything is ok. The wheels just may be a bit out of true, I am taking it to the LBS today to have them look at it. I am still searching for something to do to my bike to personalize it. I think I have narrowed it down to some blue/red/silver bar tape or some blue/red/silver tires.

Did you get your bike to the shop yet?
I just read your crash post...it sounds okay...it may be a good idea to invest and a spare wheelset for such a situation....
Cool bartape eh?
Cheers,
Brian

I was out of town all weekend so I could not take it to the shop immediatley, so I will take it today. It has been killing me just looking at my bike and not being able to ride it, the weather here has been PERFECT.

How do you like your Sarthe? I just test rode an 06 model with full Ultegra and I have to say it is one sweet buttery ride. I am seriously thinking of getting this bike. So far I have ridden all sorts of alums, alum/carbons, carbons, ect. and this thing seems to speak to me like no other. One amusing note, I had the LBS weigh the Sarthe against the all carbon Trek 5200. Guess which one was two pounds heavier?

The Sarthe was a 57 and the Trek 5200 was a 58 or 59, really not too much difference. I was suprized as well. I believe the difference was the Ultegra vs. 105/mix and lower end wheels. I looked at a Chambery today (59) and it was a tad over 20lbs with full Ultegra which was a suprize as well. The bottom line is, there seems for me to be no real reason not to get steel over the other Alum/Carbon bikes at there. I am not trying to compete at the 10/10 level with a $5K all carbon bike and the ride of that Sarthe has yet to be beaten. I think it would be fun though to outfit the Sarthe with some carbon parts like handlebars, stem, Toupe seat and pedals just to see if you could drop below 18lbs.

I really wanted to take one of those for a test ride when I got my Tourmalet, but theyre weren't any in stock yet. It sure looks like a comfy ride.
