I have a budget of £600 and so far have been seriously looking at the trek 1.5 and lemond reno. They both seem to be almost exactly the same spec except for the frame, although the difference in frame seems to be marginal compared to previous years as it seems trek have relaxed their frame geometry. I find the lemond more pleasing to the eye but that seems like a poor reason to choose one over the other. I would greatly appreciate if anybody could give me their opinion on the trek vs. the lemond or any other suggestions for road bikes in this price area (I’m really not able to spend more than 600 though). Although I am not planning to race or anything I am quite a committed cyclist by my standards (200 miles+ a week) , especially during summer. I have , perhaps an unconventional body frame (6ft4 long arms, v. long legs) and so a not too committed frame geometry seems to be the order of the day. Thanks in advance, Sean.

I believe LeMond has shortened their top tubes a bit in recent years, too.

All other things being equal, why not base your decision on aesthetics? Granted, it's not as important as quality, fit, and feel, but we're talking about a dead heat here. Ride what pleases your eye.
