One other difference is that the 1986 model has an integrated seatpost.Īll three frames feature a Time NSX front triangle and a rear triangle designed by LeMond. The bike also includes a small Z team logo on the top of the forks. As for the 1990 bike, the inside of the front fork and rear stay include the fluo yellow and red colour scheme that was used on his TVT/LeMond bike that year. The 1989 includes streaks of the bright yellow which featured on LeMond’s bike from that year, as well as subtle purple colouring which refers back to his ADR jersey. The colour scheme is designed to evoke the combination jersey that LeMond wore for part of the race.

However upon closer inspection differences can be seen the 1986 model, for example, includes red, white and green highlights, as well as a polka-dot pattern on the inside of the left fork. They will be sold consumer direct and through select dealers, and the envisaged delivery date in November of this year.Īt a glance the three frames look similar, with black colouring dominating and a bright yellow stripe across the top tube. One hundred bikes of each edition will be made, thus totalling three hundred machines in all. The new bikes are all kitted out with Campagnolo, the deal marking LeMond’s long association with that company, and also come with Time pedals. In all LeMond won three Tours and one world championship on TVT framesets. He then left the company and launched TVT, a custom carbon fiber manufacturer, which provided soles for Time shoes and also made bikes for LeMond, Pedro Delgado and Miguel Indurain. LeMond first met Gueugneaud almost three decades ago while with Look, the Frenchman built a carbon fiber bicycle for LeMond and his La Vie Claire teammate Bernard Hinault in 1985. They have been made in conjunction with the French company Time and its chief carbon engineer and frame designer Jean Marc Gueugneaud. In addition to commemorating those triumphs, the launch of the limited edition range is to mark his re-entry into the bicycle market and to mark the 100th anniversary of the Tour de France. The triple Tour de France winner’s successes in that event are commemorated by the bikes, with the three models being named after the 1986, 19 victories he took during his career. Greg LeMond officially returned to bike production this week with the unveiling of three limited edition machines at the LeMond stand at Interbike.
