55cm Lemond Maillot Jaune frame and forks

I’ve recently accidently (damn you drunken eBaying…) upgraded frames, and, as the missus had patiently explained that she’d chemical castrate me if the postman delivered anything else that smelt of GT85 and sweat, I’m going to have to shift the redundant frame and pray that she doesn’t notice…

This is a 2004 Lemond Maillot Jaune, it’s one of the ‘spine’ bikes. A lovely Reynolds 853 Pro and OCLV 120 Carbon Fibre mix, so you get the beautiful zingy ride of quality steel with the needless addition of some carbon for marketing purposes. Nah, it’s a great bike, rides beautifully and it’s very comfy.

Sizes. Top tube is 55cm. Seat tube is 53.5 CTT. That should cover it. PM me if you need any more measuring!

Obviously this frame has been ridden, and there are some patches of cable rub, but there are no dents or dings and it is in good condition. There’s some marks to the lacquer on the carbon seat tube where the front mech band sits, and the usual paint chips around the dropouts – the worst is on the forks – as pictured – but could easily be touched up, or just ignored…

I’m including a 250mm Thompson seatpost in black to fit. It’s in very good condition, the only marks are some small patches on the rear of the post, otherwise it’s immaculate, also included is a Cane Creek S6 aheadset with plenty of life remaining.

£299 including UK postage, PP gift, unless you want to pay the PP fees.

Im interested in your frameset but wouldn't have any use for the thomson zero setback seatpin. Would you take £ 220 without the seatpin?
 
Perhaps the offer of £ 220 was a little too low, so I'm offering £260 instead.
I am living in Ireland so obviously the postage will be a little more expensive.
 
What a beauty! This would be my ideal frame it if were bigger.

Do you know how the seat tube is bonded to the BB cluster?
 
Thanks, they are lovely frames, I'm only selling cos I've upgraded to the Ti/Carbon version :D

So far as I'm aware, there's no special witchcraft between the BB and the carbon, just a well-judged quantity of industrial Pritt-Stick. Although, being a Greg Lemond product, it could well be some sort of paste made up of Lance Armstrong's (alleged) lies, kitten tears and minced baby deer.

Glider - PM'd ye.
