I listed this NOS LeMond Tourmalet on eBay and, while I received many inquiries
and watchers, it didn't sell. It is too small for me so rather than list it
again I thought I would see if anyone would be interested in trading a
comparable quality and condition 54 or 55cm c-c steel frame and fork for it.
Details are listed below and several pics are available for the asking.
Thanks,

========================
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, 115mm headtube, and 150mm 1" threaded steerer on
the fork.
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. The colors are
much brighter and striking than the pictures can capture. 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. Includes a new black seat post
binder clamp.
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.
