Thoughts on spine era Lemond Victoire?
After a couple failed attempts at picking up a Fierte Ti, I am looking at a 53cm Victoire on CL; won't have the chance to ride it before I have a relative drive out with a check.
Fellow listers, what are your impressions? |
I have the 2005 catalog if you need any frame dimensions.
|
I've only heard good things about the "spine" bikes. Remember, the TT runs long on all of the Lemond bikes.

I hope you are able to find a Fierte. I love my Fierte although not a Ti the steel rides amazing. I searched for a long time for geometry like my 54S and was about to give up and start saving for a custom steel frame when I found mine. Good Luck.

And it's too bad that the later frames are taller; I liked the silver paint better ta the blue. |

I think I saw that Fierte IT- just a little too small for me.
I saw the ad for the one in Gilroy; I'm hoping to get a picture. There's another one out there, later bike from the blue decals. And now I have a Fierte owner replying to my emails. Argh. Too many options at present. Frame? Bike? Lemond? Serotta? and what do I do with the groupset when I convert it over to campy? |

Yeah. I already pinged them asking for pics and a HT measurement. Because a 55 would be of no use to me whatsoever.

I think you're right.
Although I'm tempted. And now there's a 53 Tete on Ebay for... reasonable.
Actually, what I really want to find is a 53 WSD 2006 Tete/2004 Victoire (black paint) frame, but that would be asking for hen's teeth. |
