Greg Lemond Ti MTB (92) - Revisited page 4

[Hilts]

About a year ago I picked up this frame from EBAY, a 1992 Litespeed built Greg Lemond Titanium. Didn’t know much about it but looked great and was a bargain so I decided to build it up. There wasn’t much info on them so after input from a few members I decided to go the Mavic route, not cheap or easy to get hold of but after many months searching I finally had all the bits I needed. The wheels were built by Pete Mathews up in Liverpool so are fantastic, and the titanium hubs look amazing. The only downer was having to use Shimano xtr cantis as the Marinovative decelerators I bought were too long to work with the low fork brace.

Anyway, see what you think…I am well pleased…..

Nicely done James!

That looks great! Nice with the Mavic too. Special kudos for making another large bike look good.
Is this going to get a lap of MM?
