My new Team Z lemond

Very nice.
You should dig out some of the Scott drop-in bars are used by LeMond in the 1990 tour. Greg used a TVT carbon frame and Campag Record Delta but I prefer Dura Ace to that as the brakes and index shifting actually work
Time Criterium pedals? I have a set with 'square bearings' - literally, they ratchet! They weigh about a pound each The Time Titan Magnesiums were about 1/5th of the weight and use the same TBT cleats.
FWIW: I believe that the latest generation of "speedplay specific shoes" like the DMT's have the same 4 bolt pattern as the Time TBT system.

That's a sweet ride - where did you find that LeMond bike?
I'm in the process of sorting out mine, which is an identical frame but with Ultegra throughout (couldn't afford Dura Ace as a kid when I was building this frame up from new in 1991!), but am just finishing sourcing a complete C Record Gruppo to put on it, once it's be resprayed (20 odd years of use have taken their toll on the paintjob).
Problems I'm having is finding a UK based painter that can paint in Du Pont Imron paint - which all LeMond's were painted with, along with sourcing some good repro decals to take her back to mint!

Well, $1250 is expensive for a vintage road bike. Maybe it's a collector's item? I'm not into collecting special vintage road bikes, but there's a bike show coming up in Rockford on vintage road & bmx bikes. Maybe I should check it out.
Full quick releases make fixing flat a lot easier; you don't have to carry around a crescent wrench just to fix your flat. I noticed a lot of vintage road bikes have a rear nutted axle. My college Raleigh Marathon had alloy wheels with full quick releases. I wish I never sold it. But now I got a Raleigh Mixte I upgraded - spent $750 on upgrades!

Hi /img/vbsmilies/smilies/smile.gif
I really like your Team Z Lemond.
I bought a Lemond Reno (all 501 - including fork) frame earlier this year and fitted Ultegra 9 speed on it for a training bike.
Before I built it up I took it to a friend who's a car painter. I mixed up a small amount of touch up paint which I used on the scratches and then I got him to two pot clear coat it.
It looks really nice now and rides well. I fitted some Crud Roadracer mudguards which can stay on until November and the weather is more predictably fine.
Just ignore alienator. He hangs around here like a bad smell. There can't be much else going on in his pathetic life. /img/vbsmilies/smilies/icon13.gif

For anyone else irritated by Alienator's posts - simply look at one of them (any of the three in this thread), click the "down" arrow just under his name, and click "BLOCK MEMBER".
Do a page refresh, and every single post of his will disappear from view - result..... If everyone does this, then hopefully he'll just leave and bother other people elsewhere.
