Re:
that looks like a nicely made frame - now all you have to do is respray it in a decent colour scheme - the lemond ones were pretty rank but typical for the early 90s!

Its a really nicely built Bilato frame, but the paint was pretty ininspiring, GAN or not. At least the original poster has a blank canvas, which is pretty cool, the originality is gone so its open house.
This was unfortunately too big for me so was moved on to a fellow retrobike member.

It has been some time since I posted a reply in this thread, but I have finished removating the Lemond frame.
I had the front forks and rear triangle chromed at http://dougtaylor.co.uk/home/1265111 and I am very pleased with the results.
The next job was deciding on the colour, I am a sucker for red and as this was the frames original colour, I have had it finished in a gold base coat with candy apple red lacquer coat and a finial clear coat to protect the decals. I used a local custom motorcycle frame restorer in Plymouth, http://www.artattackdesign.co.uk/about%20us.html and what a great job he has done.
Luckily, after a long wait, I found some original decals ( his last set) in the USA and purchased them from Ed Litton, a custom frame builder and painter, who was involved with the original Breezer MTB.
Well here she is, a custom Lemond, unfortunately the camera has not captured the finish, and the gold base coat reflecting under the red lacquer.
It’s a bit like the cobblers shoes, I will get around to building her up one day, I have a an Original Chorus ( C Record era) that has been assigned to this build.
