This is a great price on a great frame and fork! This is a new LeMond Tourmalet
frame and fork that has been sitting in a bike shop just waiting for someone to
build it up and ride it.
This frame measures 53cm from the center of the bottom bracket to center of the
top tube (or 54cm from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the top
tube, or 55.5cm from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the seat
tube) with a 54.5cm top tube.
The frame and fork are painted a brilliant fire engine red, with white panels on
the seat tube and down tube and contrasting red or white decals. This is a very
nice, very fast looking frame and fork! The frame tubing is the legendary
Reynolds 525 steel that was TIG welded here in America and comes with a 1"
threaded fork.
The rear brake cable is routed at 7 o'clock on the top tube, frame takes a
clamp-on front derailleur and has braze-on down tube shifter bosses and a pump
peg and two sets of water bottle bosses. The rear dropouts are short horizontal
(no dropout screws included, I never use them) and measure 130mm wide. There are
threaded eyelets on the fork and rear dropouts.
The condition of the bike is excellent as it is a brand new model from the very
late 90's. The paint is vibrant and the frame and fork have been completely
treated inside the tubes with Boeshield T-9 rust prevention spray. There are
very few very small tics from shop wear that have been touched up by matching
red touch-up paint and are hard to even see unless you look for them.
To see what the bike could look like built up, go to:

and scroll down to the Tourmalet.
$295 for the new frame and fork picked up in McAlester.
Pictures available on request.
Thanks,
