LeMond Speed Demon's Arrive!


Sorry, but this stock photo will have to do for now, until I wipe the drool off of my camera and get it working again! Wow these things are nice! Our team Lemond Triomphe Carbon Zurich frames came in today, I was speechless. The frames are so light, and just plain look fast. The Triomphe Series is available in 5 different models, two different frame weights. All feature the same Min/Max design philosophy, LeMond's legendary geometry and a variety of leading components available from SRAM, Shimano and Bontrager (including the Bontrager Race Lite carbon fork). The frames feature a super wide Bottom Bracket area, asymmetrically shaped chainstays, larger beefy headtube,and a wide seattube yoke all to increase the lateral stiffness of the bike and increase power transfer. The frames the team will be riding range from the 49cm women's specific version, to their largest 61cm frame. Comparing the frames it is easy to see LeMond's max/min feature of the frames. The diameter and shaping of the top tube, head tube, seat yoke are all dependent of the size of the bike...larger for larger bikes to compensate for larger riders, and smaller for the smaller frames.

Now the sweet task of building them up begins...we will keep you posted on the first maiden voyage. Thanks to Travis, Jeff for their help from LeMond for getting us on the best bikes out there. Thanks also for Jim O'Brien at The Right Gear for getting us rolling and dialed in. http://www.rightgear.net/
