    My LeMond
    This bike has been a never ending project it seems. It's a 97 LeMond. It was orange but over the winter a couple of biking co-works stripped it down for me and I sent the frame out for powder coating. After spending days looking at all of the avaliable colors I chose this one. I guess you will be able to see me, right.LOL
    I am ready for spring and I can't wait to try it out. All that is needed is a bottle holder. I have since put a small Domke bag on the bars for my Leica and a couple of rolls of film. Maybe my EPL-1 when it get here.
    Maybe some decals to set it off later too. I took pictures of the original stickers and can have them custom made.

    Nice bike! And nice shot. I really like the color you chose! I hope it glows in the dark to keep you safe! :D

    I have two recreational therapies - photography and bike riding. Whenever I ride my bicycle and/or have my camera in my hands biking or walking through some interesting scenery, I am so PEACEFUL

    It's been so cold - and snowy - and icey in NJ the past few weeks - or should I say the past couple of months. There are HUGE mounds of snow drifts all over - and in most areas parking is ....well....non existent.

    HOWEVER, by Thursday the temperature may get to 60F - at least it will be in the 50's. Now there is hope.

    Have fun Greg - you deserve it.

    All I can think of when looking at a bike is getting hit by a car mirror.

    I have more problems with mean dogs than anything. It just seems like ALL dogs want to bite me for some reason.

    Very nice Greg! Wish I had my Cannodale back that someone stole out of your storage unit.

    Sorry to hear about your bike. One think going my way is I am so tall my frame won't fit most.

    Thanks I get lots of compliments. There is one paint that changes colors with different lighting. I almost got that one.
