Lemond Zurich / Pearson Nuovo Pro

Hi

Anyone got any knowledge of either of the above bikes please ?

I`ve been speaking to various shops and these seem about the favourites. Tied in to cycle to work and can get the above with a bit of wrangling.

I`m returning to road cycling after a few years , and I`ll need it for commuting plus fun at the weekends. Getting on a bit and need a bit of comfort.

Any advice appreciated

Thanks

I have an older Zurich in Reynolds 853. It rides very well, but Lemond had very specific ideas about frame geometry - he advocated a relaxed seat tube angle, resulting in a long top tube. Not to everybody's taste, but I don't know whether the more recent models follow this pattern, or more conventional thinking. Still quality bikes though.

I have the 2007 Lemond Zurich Triple.

Comfiest thing I've ever ridden. It's also extremely fast. Well made.

Recommend it very highly.

I've also just bought an older Lemond Zurich secondhand with 853 tubing and I love it. The top tube is relatively speaking quite long but it can be resolved by fitting a shorter stem

Thanks for the replies so far - looks like 3 - 0 to the Lemond at the moment ! Just need to find a stockist near Barnsley willing to let me try one

Remember that they'll probably get rarer and rarer now. Join an exclusive club!

I love mine. Absolutely love it.
