View Full Version : Lemond Buenos Aries MikeG 07-26-2004, 04:37 PM Finally found some time to take pics of my Lemond. I bought it more than a year ago. I've put about 400 or 500 miles on it. Still on all original parts (except tires and bar tape). More shots here (http://fresh.no-ip.org/galleries/bikeshtml/index.htm). dagger 08-09-2004, 05:50 PM OMG..u got such a sweet bike and you should be ashamed of yourself for only putting 500 miles in a whole year on it....you should be doing 500 miles in a month. Get offline now and go ride. MikeG 08-10-2004, 07:33 AM LOL thanks! Unfortunately I only have time to road-ride a couple times a week. Other times are devoted to mtbiking. :p CraigH 03-29-2005, 09:09 PM Time to link your updated photos to this thread... reidcc 03-30-2005, 02:22 AM How old is this Buenos Aires? Mighty fine looking ride! Chris OES 04-06-2005, 08:00 AM LOL thanks! Unfortunately I only have time to road-ride a couple times a week. Other times are devoted to mtbiking. :p You're a MTBer looking to go Road? You're not planning to race or anything? Remember, FIT is the key. lspangle 04-06-2005, 09:20 AM You're a MTBer looking to go Road? You're not planning to race or anything? Remember, FIT is the key. Maybe you only put 500 miles on it because your FIT isn't right? ;) MikeG 08-03-2005, 10:47 AM Alas, the fit was good. But on a ride last April, I was drafting off a friend. A stick flew up from his rear wheel, and landed in my front spokes. I went over the bars and crumpled the frame. http://gallery.roadbikereview.com/data/roadbike/525/235758IMG_3323.jpg Landed on my shoulder, left hand and jaw. http://gallery.roadbikereview.com/data/roadbike/525/235758329247393203_0_ALB.jpg I'm saving up for a custom Moots. More pictures here (http://gallery.roadbikereview.com/showgallery.php?cat=525). Indyfan 08-04-2005, 07:23 AM You'll love the Moots. Are you going full custom? Bob FastFred 08-26-2005, 10:15 PM Holy ****! I'm amazed a steel frame would crumple up like that! I have a '02 Buenos Aires and have decidedly better luck with it so far, knock on wood....about to hit 3,000 fun-filled miles. My first real road bike and still lovin' it! MikeG 09-17-2005, 10:29 AM One final update. I couldn't bring myself to throw out a $1K frame. So I made it into a trainer bike. Pretty sweet fork and matching handlebar tape, huh? :p http://gallery.roadbikereview.com/data/roadbike/525/235758craigslistsept05_001.jpg MikeG 05-11-2006, 08:41 PM See my signature ... MikeG 05-11-2006, 08:44 PM i think my Moots FIT is pretty nice. we'll see soon enough. i really respect the welder who pieced it together. thanks man. - MikeG |
