of France, In 1989 at Chombery, Greg
LeMond outsprlnted the best finishers
in the sport to win his third World Hood
Championship.

A new Lei^ylond Chombery, worthy of ony
championship, is neorly o Moillot Joune. A

The two bikes' Aeroluminum frames ond
Time carbon fiber forks ore precisely
the same, so their ride ond handling
ore precisely the some. Their stems ond
threodless heodsets ore the some. Their
saddles, pedals and tires ore the some.
All world closs.

The similoritles ore more numerous thon
the differences. One meoningful difference:
The V2K Chombery con be ordered with
o triple crankset[52. 42, 30] for world

class versotility.

By the way. we love the Chombery colors.
See, the black and red wos Saturn's idea;

The olumrn^um is aLvesame.
it's my first oluminum bike —
the weight of it ISO bonus
for me. It's unbEiiuobly liglil
compared to all my prewtous
"farm-golss,' (os Uiey say in
New Zealand]. So hill-ciimbing
15 a lot mors enjoyable. The
weight difference is really
important '."jhen gravity comes
into effect People say steel
is more comfortoblehuti
dnn't mind the ridigity of the
oluminum frame. It's wickedly

responsfue too —you can
feally notice it^vhen you're
sprinting or vjhen you get out
of your seoLto throve your
bike ofound. Descending
an the aluminum Lelvlond is
different too: Yau can hug
the corners with confidence —
it handles si'^eet! And oil that
is without mentioning the
cqqI paint job!

I also think thot the oluminurr

The best ride ond handling. How con on
AIpe D'Huez cost less but ride the some as

you'll be impressed. Still skeptical after your
ride? Study the specs: It's oil good stuff.

We believe Shimono 105 components ore

bike rocers nursed o 50-yeor inferiority

ot the mouth of the Rio de to P/a to. At 1 8,
Greg LeMond flew to Argentino to race
ogoinstthe best riders his age inthe
world. In the final meters of the rood race
Belgian swerved and pushed LeMond
off-course. He neorly crashed, finishing
second. So blatant was the Belgian's
offense that officials relegoted him to
second place, giving LeMond his first
big international victory.

For some reoson I just prefer
Ihs feel of ritJTng stee t At the
beginning of the season I '.-jos
troining on o steel LeMond
and racing an Aeraluminum
one. butljustneuer felt ot
home on the my racing bike.

Anywoy. I went to Europe
vjith my steel 'training" bike
and really liked the woy it
felt I kno/j the geometry is
identicol between the t.vo
frames, but the Reynolds bike

seemed to fit me better ond
I found the steel gentler on

my body. Its tiie most
camfartoble bike I've ever
ridden, probobly because
it fits me perfectly,

I feel like partof my bikson
technical descents becouse

it responds so well. As a result
of oil those th'ngs, my troining
bike hos become my racing
bike and I love it!

The Tourmalet could be considered o bit
deceiving. While it's the leost e:ipensive
LeMond, it is nevertheless a greot looking,
greot performing bicycle, o genuine
LefVlond you'll love.

A Tourmolet, despite its reosonoble price, is
mode from l=^eynalds steel tubing, Reynolds
525. The cromolyfork is aero-shoped and
frankly good looking. We offer Tourmalets in
eight sizes, eoch v-'ith size-specific bar width,
stem length and cronkorm length. If you're
normally proportioned, your new Tourmolet
may fit you perfectly on initial assembly.

We're introducing Shimano's nei.v Tiogro
group on the V2K Tourmolet. double or triple
cranksetotyour option. Bars ore from TTT.
It rolls on Rolf wheels like every LeMond, ond
Michelin Axiol Select tires, the some wheels

Grog Lemond's first real roce bikes were built by Rena
fromebuilder Rolond Dello Sonta. Dalla Santa owned o
true racing shop where young Greg could hear countloss
stories of epic Europoon races and o find a worthy
collection of Europoon racing mogozines Ihot illustrated
oil the passion and tradition of the sport. Greg was
hooked. As v/os his style, Delia Santo bond built Greg
LeMood's first racing bikes in tho conservotlve Itoiion
style, not the nervous, steepongled, "criterium" style
mony US builders of thot era produced. LeMond, as you'd
imogine, tried countless bicycles over the yeors but
invariably returned to tho troditlonol Itolionesque style.

Greg LeMond believes o bicycle should be
stable on the road. It should reoct calmly to
steering inputs from Its rider. The bicycle
should offer its rider o powerful, bolonced
position, eosily personolized by fore-and-oft
soddle plocementond stem length choice.
It should be relo>;ed in its heod tube and
seat tube ongles. Reloxed ongles create
reossuring stability — and o position of
comfort and control. A comfortable cyclist,
bolonced on the bike, will ride faster, forther
and in greoter control. Rocing [or fost club
riding] is difficultenough. Vour bicycle should
olwoys be on your side: o precise, willing tool.
It should olways be sure: never skittish,
never headstrong, never o couse for worry.
Greg LeMond studied cycling's traditional
values eorly in his career. He took from thot
tradition its voluable ospects ond rejected
what he found to be outmoded or narrow
in focus. The result is LelVlond Geometry.
Bikes meontto be ridden.
