My passion for bikes started when my parents opened a shop in the 1980s called Parker Bikes (we were located in Parker, Colorado). My love for cycling has continued since then, in my work and with my hobbies of road cycling and mountain biking. After my parents’ shop closed, I worked for other bike shops (including Lee’s Cyclery in Fort Collins), where I built and sold bikes, fixed and tuned up bikes, and managed inventory.
I love working on bikes and want to share my passion for cycling with others. So, next time you’re talking cycling with someone and wondering how to get started or where to go from here, you can think, “I know a guy!”

Just picked a super nice 2002 Alpe D'Huez, love the green paint on this sweet thing $375.00
Nice, hope it is in good shape.
I bought a Zurich new in 2001 and still ride it to this day. Great bikes, imo.
Thanks for the insider background.
Seems like LeMond bikes are a bargain at a few hundred dollars. I'm very happy with a Croix de Fer I got for about $600.
They're one fantastic finds and the ride is something you have to try once. I have Poprad as one of my personal bikes that I will not ever sell.
Mississippi?! LeMonds are made in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Although his carbon fiber facility partnership with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory didn't work out, his bikes are still built and sold from here and Greg lives nearby. Highly recommend the documentary about Greg, The Last Rider, on streaming services like Hulu.
I just picked up a low mileage Lemond Zurich and am very excited to get out on it! Having ridden a Bridgestone MB2 mtb for years, I am a fan of long top tubes. Now, if the weather might cooperate
They are really a fun bike to ride!
Okay the way I saw it TREK had established a dealer network with each shop having a territorial exclusive. Got a TREK dealer in town? Look about 15 miles down the road for the next one. After the unprecedented success of the brand they came up with their Bontrager line of everything from shoes to helmets to tires, but had limited themselves by the exclusivity agreement. LeMond was a different brand, so a guy selling Specialized (for example) on the same block as the TREK store could put in LeMond and increase the sales of accessories. Good for TREK. Also from appx ‘96 to 2007 the two brands were fairly strictly divided by material. Aluminum and Carbon bikes were TREK and steel and Titanium were LeMond. Now to my real point, your discussion of the brand failed to mention LeMond Ti models. In 2000 they brought out the Victoire (Ultegra) and Tete d’ Course (Dura Ace) full Reynolds butted and shaped 3/2.5 Titanium frame bikes. TREK just couldn’t ignore the 3% Titanium share of the market being split between Litespeed Merlyn Moots and the rest of the lunatic fringe. I have a 2003 Victoire (final year of production) that sat unsold in an LBS for 7 years until I figured out what it was (and the price fell to irresistible). By far the best bicycle product of the next decade, way better than my ‘04 5500. After 20,000 miles including all my big climbing days the paint fell off and the shifters wore out. Even though I had replaced the bike about 5 times I couldn’t let it go so I had it professionally painted and did an Ultegra 11 speed compact upgrade. But while Lance was winning all those Td’F s on a carbon TREK the lovely Ti LeMonds gathered dust in the showroom.
Love the details. I currently ride 2 LeMonds, the Poprod steel and a full carbon Alpe both are lovely rides.Thank you for sharing, I do thing the Ti is overlook even in todays market.
@@IKnowAGuyBicycles IMHO Ti was set to be the premier frame material until CF came and spoiled it’s party. Big Bicycle industry likes CF better for several reasons, most prominent being the declining per unit cost. Monocoque CF requires a big initial investment to make each different size mold, then each bike you make amortizes that investment. Ti on the other hand requires meticulous welding and shaping of each unit with no payback for production of big quantities. I ride a lot and have time to sort through the details so I’m full of them, correct or not, relevant or not.
Ok , nice Take on Greg LeMond. His old man and my uncle used to hang in Boulder, also Elder Phinney. What a crew man. Privelege to hang with them when i was a kid, undergrad Boulder.I think I remember your shop in the Golden, CB, and the Fort; used to ride and boulder up there a lot.Going to look your site up🤙🏼
Rode mostly there.May remember your store in the Fort....🧐
Cool connection!
I own 03' zurich pro team, still best frame ever made in my opinion. 18Ibs built with full carbon fork and upgrades.
Nice!
I really liked riding my 2003 Zurich when I had it. Currently rebuilding a Versailles while riding a Croix de Fer.
Nice!
I’ve been riding my mint condition, Lemond Sartre since I purchased new in 2005. I still live how it feels and get a thrill as I clip in for a ride . I’ll never sell it, I say, but aging has me needing to raise my posture. Do I go to a raised stem and flat bar? Sell or donate it to someone who will put it on a wall as an icon of past perfection?
I would start with a higher degree stem. I'm in the same boat, and I have done that, which has made my riding more comfortable.
Very nicely done. I started out on a Lemond, an 00 Tourmalet. My collection has since grown; and includes steel, aluminum, carbon, and the spine bike. The steel have been my favorite rides and what I ride 90% of the time.
I'm just built up a full carbon LeMond, pretty excited to hit the road with it.
@@IKnowAGuyBicycles If it'a like my Versailles; it will be like riding on a cloud. Super plush ride.
Spine bike technology not spline bike technology ✌️
You are right, old age is catching up to me. Thank you for watching and calling me out.
Lemond bikes--a sad story! After arrangements with CarbonFrames in California to supply technology fell apart, Lemond's own company stopped producing bicycles and instead licensed the rights to Lemond's name to Trek. It is not clear how much input Lemond actually had into the Trek-built bikes with his brand on them although they were noted for the long top tubes, unusual geometry at the time but well-suited to all-day riding like the Europeans were doing in races. I had an aluminum Maillot Jaune, which was a wonderful bicycle with a Time carbon fork, and sold it when I bought the first generation S-Works Tarmac but two years ago I acquired a c 2005 Lemond Tete de Course, which is one of the spine bikes and is half carbon and half titanium, and all Dura-Ace components. The workmanship is amazing (I don't know if Trek ever did any other work in ti) and the ride quality is fabulous. Considering how much these bikes cost when new, they are a terrific value if you can find one in good shape and it is a shame that they are so little-known today.
So love my Poprad from LeMond. He has a comeback and building bikes again. Small but looks like some good stuff. We'll see if he will produce like when his name was under Trek. Thanks for the comment.
True.I feel like the OCLV/Alloy Spline is in part if not entirely LeMond's
As late as 2006. Either way. Fantastic Frames
Yea, Gran Fondo.Distance.Great touring frames for the $
I also have an '05 Lemond Tete de Course. Absolutely love this bike
Hello I have a 1999 Lemond Tourmalet Reynolds 525 steel with the RSX groupset. Nice strong bicycle I would classify as a commuter rather than a lightweight racer.
Those are very solid bikes and can be used for many types of riding. (Road, Commuting, Light Touring)
i have 2 of the 6066 aluminum frames and love them would have enjoyed a good close up walk around of this 1 thanks for all your knowledge man
This one is sold and gone. I will with the next one I come across.
nice dude. Got the AC/DC Chambery no? Ultegra groupo, Full Bontrager.Its Dope. Got me back in to roadie
You can find what I have in stock at my website. Always getting in new inventory.
@@IKnowAGuyBicycles Ok, Cheers will check it out my man
We need Lemond bikes in the 1500 price range
The new ones that are coming out are very pricey.
I would take $1500 for my 2006 Sarthe.
I like lemond bike❤
They are some awesome bikes! Thanks for watching!
