That race was electric Greg was and still is my hero, the fact he replied back to you confirms what a great guy he is.. I can't believe my original Z shirt is now over 30 years old.. Super memories, Lovely resto, Top work..
Thanks my friend for the support, yes Greg sure seems a great guy and a true legend.I couldn't believe it when the message dropped in. Thanks again all the best
I know I'm late to the party here but I did some construction work fo Greg and his wife here in Minnesota ,and it's true you will not meet a more kind and humble person that has been at that level in sport. AND THAT BIKE WOW!!!!!!!!
Wow, that bike is stunning. I got the chance to meet Greg so I can say he’s not only a great athlete but a super human being. Not full of himself, very down to earth and approachable. Fun video. You riding the bike at the end gave goosebumps. So cool.
Thanks buddy for your kind words of support, glad you enjoyed the video. Amazing you met the man himself, thanks for sharing your personal experience with him. All the best
Beautiful build ! Greg and Andy were my heroes growing up, and like you, also the reason I became a lifelong cyclist. Love your channel and enthusiasm ! 👏👏👏
Hey Andy, brilliant build. Greg is a hero of mine and back in his Renault-Elf days I actually got my haircut like Greg. I have a Pegoretti built Pinarello from 1993 with the next gen ergo levers and 8 speed. Brilliant bike. Now... at 7:36 you show the new BB installed and I dare say it's in backwards. The lock ring/adjuster cup goes on the non-drive side and the fixed cup on the drive (right) side.
Hi thanks for watching and your comment nice to hear the story about your haircut. The bottom bracket came with the bike. I fully serviced it and reinstalled. The Italian frame on the drive side had an opposite thread like most Italian frames and the bottom bracket that came with it had a unusual locking ring on both sides of barrel. The manufacturer was “Royals” I think 🤔. Hope this explains a little better. Thanks again for your support
@@BikeItUK wow that is bizarre. Never seen a BB like that. Both my 83 pinarello and 93 Pinarello (Super record and C-Record ergo respectively) have Campy BBs and there is a fix cup on the drive side which made me think yours was backwards. But if that BB has a lock ring on both sides, and the ring doesn't impede the crank spider, well that's a new one on me. Weird quirks of pro team bikes I guess.
I can't say I was inspired by Greg, as I am older. But, that 1989 win was super special, a TT to remember for the ages!! As an American, yep, I was proud of Greg, he was and is a "class act"! Thanks for doing that wonderful bike justice. I loved the video.
You make it okay, Andy, to be an over-the-top superfan! And anyone who refurbishes an original bike is entitled to wear the full kit and shades and everything. Nice work! And just too cool, your hearing from Greg about that bike.
Wow thanks matey.....yes I couldn't believe hearing back from Greg Lemond great guy and a living legend. Thanks for your words of support means a lot. Take care all the best Andy
For me Greg was the greatest, I always admired his achievements they were absolutely incredible. Greg always looked good on the bike with his brilliant style. Greg you are the greatest, thank you very much for everything. From Tom in Lancashire England, peace and god bless.🚴🥇👍🥂😎
I restored a Mk1 1983 Raleigh Record Sprint which I got for my birthday during covid (video on my channel) nothing more pleasing than riding the finished project. Just makes me smile. Keep up the great videos Andy 👍🏻.
Nice, great to hear and classic bike for many Ive had a couple on the stand on here. Such a positive thing to do in these crazy times, I cant fault you. Thanks for watching and your support
That's awesome that Greg Lemond got back to you. As ever it's amazing you get the chance to restore a bike back to it's former glory. Without doubt this is a special one historically. Your videos are monumental and and inspiration for all of us who are interested in cycling.
I could watch these videos all day long, and this was one of your best! I loved it! Beautiful restoration of an exotic and iconic bike and a superbly produced video. Top drawer Andy!
That rig, your refurbishment of it, and your energy and enthusiasm, all make me smile! It's a great thing you do and an absolute blast to get to watch. Thanks a heap for sharing!!
Amazing! I never idolized sports icons except Greg. I cycled quite a bit in high school back in the late 80's early 90's and I will be ever grateful for him
Stumbled upon your site and glad I did. Back in 1985 when I was 30 years old the cycling bug bit me........That year Lemond was neck and neck with Hinault but it wasnt quite his time. The following year it was and his epic win in 1986 inspired me beyond belief. An American actually winning the Tour, imagine that. Fast forward to 2022. I am retired, and have lots of time to ride and accomplish fitness goals I have been putting off for years. Absolutely loved the bike. Brings back lots of fond memories from the 80's. Well done, sir. I admire a person that has passion for what they do. Kudos to you. You have earned a subscriber.
Hay, many thanks for the Subscription it’s much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed the video, I’ve got another couple of Greg Lemonds in the pipeline, so watch this space. Thanks for sharing you story, glad your enjoying your time now 🚴👍
@@BikeItUK well few weeks ago I spoted one cheap and interesting road bike on andvertisment. I have MTB and ride it, but my old wish was to have an road bike. And this one reminds me on my fathers old bike he got in the factory in the 80s, that factory was producing bike cranksets it’s name was Unis from Yugoslavia. So, I got old german bike for very cheap, 40€, steel frame with lugs, weinmann brakes with dual levers and rims, maillard high flange hubs, shimano positron shifters, shimano chain and casette, SR Sakae Custom crankset 42/52, SR Sakae BB, Uno stem, Friko handlebar. So I stripped the bike to the frame, sent the frame to sandblasting and powdercoating in matte black. While I was waiting I was cleaned every single component the best I could and assemble it back, today I got new tires, tubes, seatpost, brake lines and housings, bar tape and pedals. I just need seatclamp screw to come and I can start building a bike. So tomorrow I am planing to start and record it, and mount the proper video in few days. Your videos give me some experiance and will to do it properly
What an EPIC bike! Words can't describe how awesome Greg Lemond team road bike is and Greg Lemond himself. This is a once in a lifetime treasure. And what a great resto for an historic bike. The Campy Delta brakes and groupset WOW! just WOW! I am super happy for you. Cheers my friend Cheers!!!
Thank you my friend, to hear back from Greg Lemond himself was something else. Really enjoyed doing this one. Thanks for your support buddy all the best
Wow, wow, wow! Such an amazing restoration & rebuild. I was at the TdF finish in '86 as a wide-eyed 15 year-old American novice bike racer. Loved watching the battle between Greg and Le Blaireau. So many memories! I had the same Time pedals & shoes from '87 - '94. Wonderful to see those again!
Absolutely amazing video! This one I’ve seen in a long time. And I watched far too many videos about bikes! I started cycling just a few years before you, but Greg was the reason. I’ll let you guess what year that was. Anyways, looking forward to a similar purchase. can’t wait to watch more of your videos. Keep up the great work.
Watching you ride this bike was amazing. You looked so in control and perfectly balanced on the bike. The angles of bikes today are painful to look at.
GG : YES!!! The "angles" (New Age righteous ignoramus hipster abortion) of these worthless prefab plastic Made in China "bikes" are beyond painful to look aat. For starters.
I still have the Billato -built Lemond TSX frame I bought after I earned my wings in Pensacola FL. Other guys bought sports cars, I bought that Italian race bike I’d always wanted. All these years later it’s still my first choice for a long ride.
Great video, I also point to that 1989 TDF as the spark for my love of cycling. I remember watching that final time trial on ABC Wide World of Sports and when it was over I was so pumped, I jumped on my bike and rode for what seemed like hours. This bike sure does bring back some great memories.
I'd already heard on the radio that he won but my eyes still welled up watching it. I do have to say that I prefer the previous Z paint scheme with navy blue on top, though.
Very inspirational Andy and a cracking restoration. I still wear a "Stars and Stripes " Greg Lemond cycling top from this era ! The brake calipers look amazing no matter what and what a fantastic reply from the man himself about the bike.
Thanks buddy for the words of support, really enjoyed this one and yes to actually have connected with the man himself was something else. Thanks again all the best
The bikes of that time bring back so many memories. I had in 1979 /80 a steel Holdsworth frame. The rear cassette was 13to 18 tooth, the front rings were 54/42. Climbing any large hills was absolutely brutal.Down tube shifters, tubular tires. The bikes have certainly come a long way and are very enjoyable to ride today. But the bikes of that era are true classics.
Hi Andy, Thanks for the trip down memory lane. For me, it was the pinnacle of Tour cycle racing. Love your enthusiasm, and not surprised that you can't take the smile off your face riding that gorgeous bike. My favourite channel on RUclips for cycling by a mile. Keep up the good work.
Wow, my pleasure and thanks for your supporting comment. Your support really does keep me doing what i do, so its a two way street my friend. Yes this bike really was a childhood dream bike for me. Take care and thanks again
Love this! Had the great fortune of watching Lemond and the Badger during their time of conflict regarding team leadership during a couple of Coors Classic years. Epic stages in the Colorado Rockies. Still have my hallowed La Vie Claire T-shirt framed on my wall. Those were also the days of the famed 7-Eleven crew, with Hampsten, Kiefel, Phinney, Pierce and Alcala....epic Tour and Giro teams! Those were the good old days of the American rise to the top ranks of intl cycling.
Great Restore, looks fantastic and you look good riding that bike :). I had those Oakley factory pilots back then. Greg is and always will be my hero. i actually mailed (yes mailed a letter, not emailed) greg lemond bicycles back in '91 asking where i can purchase one in my area. They sent me back brochures, still regret it today i didn't buy one. :)
Hello Mr. Andy. Great to have/see you back doing what you do!! Congrats with the restore you did on this bike, it came out top notch !!. Hope all is well in the UK, stay safe and healthy and hope you will be doing more restore vids as weather gets better. Take care.
Thanks my friend for the supporting comment, yes I have a few restorations on the go at the moment and yes the weather had definitely picked up. All the best take care
Another great project, Robert (Pippa) Millar was my inspiration for getting into cycling. I'm halfway through a 85 Peugeot Robert Millar Autograph restoration at the minute 👍
Sounds great...I just missed out on a group ride up Scotland recently 🏴 with her gutted I couldn’t get up there. Thanks for the support all the best
J'adore vos vidéos, le vélo Lemond est un de mes préférés (j'ai le TVT 92 Team Z), les couleurs sont superbes, merci à vous pour vos vidéos, bonne continuation car on en redemande !
Love this channel. Looking forward to this dropping in a few hours. I'll make sure I'm in a quiet room with a brew. I've found lots of great info on here about brands etc and some of the hints and tips have been excellent in helping with my own little projects
Congratulations! What a terrific survivor. LeMond's theory was a longer wheelbase for distance comfort = less fatigue. I bet this bike rides like a dream. Beautiful piece. Nice work!!
Thanks for watching and the support…yes it was a dream to ride in more ways than one. Yes I’m extremely lucky to live I live for cycling some great climbs. All the best take care
Great video and build, Andy. I am so amazed, how you come across this beautiful bikes. I was stationed in Germany, USAF, when Greg was winning those tours. Keep the great content coming and stay safe . KB.
Bike shop in Berlin 1992 had about 25 of these hanging up and for sale. They had about 10 frames in every size from 47-66 by Colnago, Pegoretti, Atala, Catalana
That race was electric Greg was and still is my hero, the fact he replied back to you confirms what a great guy he is.. I can't believe my original Z shirt is now over 30 years old.. Super memories, Lovely resto, Top work..
Thanks my friend for the support, yes Greg sure seems a great guy and a true legend.I couldn't believe it when the message dropped in. Thanks again all the best

He is what got me interested in cycling
One incredible inspirational individual 👍
Awesome! Lemond was the reason I got into cycling too . Great video. Thank you
Thanks for watching and the support glad you like it much appreciated
I’m repeating myself - but this is my favourite RUclips channel. Thanks so much for your videos!
You are very welcome I really do enjoy getting my hands on all these bikes. The pleasure is all mine. All the best 👍

Definitely 😂👍 Thanks for watching and the support
Beautiful build ! Greg and Andy were my heroes growing up, and like you, also the reason I became a lifelong cyclist. Love your channel and enthusiasm ! 👏👏👏
Wow, thank you buddy.....i love revisiting great childhood cycling memories. Thanks again for the support my friend
There not my hero's anymore because they have sold out to Taiwan and the Chinese market. All they care about is money.
The bike of my hero. Had posters of this on my wall in 1990. Think he rode a Bottechia in 89? Wonderful resto. Well done.
Much appreciated glad you liked it 👍
I’m sure Greg watched this upload with a massive grin 😁 what a bike !
Great if he did, thanks for watching and your support
