Lemond Bikes

Posted December 9, 2010 by in american, Road, Uncategorized | No comments yet

Lemond Bikes is the cycle business set up by former professional road racer Greg Lemond. In 1986, Greg LeMond became the first American cyclist to win the Tour de France but his elation was cut short when the following year he was shot and seriously injured in a hunting accident. He made a miraculous recovery and was able to return to the Tour de France in 1989, winning it dramatically in its final stage by the slimmest margin in the event's history from Frenchmen Laurent Fignon. He won again for the third time the following year of 1990 and is spoken of by many afficianados as one of the last clean winners of the Tour.
Lemond started Lemond Bikes in 1990 while he was still racing and partnered with Trek in 1992 to enhance the brand's distribution.

Lemond frame dimensions are designed differently from most production and custom bikes available today. Lemond seat tube angles are more relaxed and Lemond top tubes are longer than other frames of similar size. With Lemond's thinking in this area heavily influenced by studies carried out by his mentor Cyrille Guimard who was his first professional coach in France, The studies examined a rider's body position placement for optimum bio-mechanical and aerodynamic efficiency.

Riding static bikes in wind tunnels the testers measured power output, muscle effectiveness, heart rate, aerodynamics and perceived comfort. The tests provided very useful data on frame sizing, saddle height and body positioning relative to the bike's cranks and bottom bracket position.

The results showed that it is more efficient to pedal from "behind" the crank centre than in "front" so a rider should be sitting far enough back so they can push the pedals over the top of the stroke and then pull them through the bottom.

Ringle, along with Paul's components and Syncros have been making high quality components for discerning riders since the late 80's / early 90s. Known for their smooth running, exotic and durable boutique components the only drawback was their more expensive cost than the cheaper more widely available Shimano and Suntour kit available at the time.

We Love David Duffield Reader Submissions Part 1a

Posted October 10, 2009 by in Uncategorized | No comments yet

Tour de France 2001 Update

In the bumper TdF 2001 preview issue of Cycling Weekly there was an article in the News Section that profiled this web page dedicated to the Great Man Duffield. The response over the next week was huge as Cycling Weekly readers flocked to find out more about their hero. Many people sent in emails which we have reproduced in their full glory below.

From: Vernon

duffer

Your Duffield speak is bad G.

Here are a couple you may have missed/left out for a reason (?)

Penny numbers: ?

Blast on the old banjo: ?

I can not give you a translation for any of the above, as like most viewers I don't know what he is talking about!

Thanks Vernon. I suspect "Penny numbers" refers to the riders coming across the line in ones and twos. As for "Blast on the old banjo" that could mean absolutely anything where DD is concerned!

I found your David info website very enjoyable - suggest that you might wish to add the following:

"we are getting towards the back end" we are near to the finish

"near the back end he will sprint" near the end he will sprint

"a bit conky up the road" the next 10 kms will be rather hilly

"pants, trousers" - anything you like except shorts

Outstanding commentating this year:

We joined the Tour of Catalonia to see a single rider obviously on a very good break. Our good friend David proceeded to tell us about "everything" which had happened that day (about 8 minutes). Within 5 secs of him first mentioning the break the camera returned to the second group. Needless to say whilst the camera was on this group David told us all about the solo break.

Overall I do appreciate David's efforts and mostly enjoy his food and tourist diversion but the single thing which never ceases to infuriate is:

We get to 3k and think its coming, we get to 2k and we think it must be none and then David starts it - in the last couple of Ks he proceeds to give us a full description of the whole race for the whole day and to make sure that we are not short of information a description of any other race which anyone remotely described as a British pro has been involved in. My feelings when I only wish for info about the last k and finishing straight cannot be put in print.

Best Wishes
Keep up the good work
Eddy

Thanks Eddy. I know what you mean. Hang in there - you'll get used to it!

A classic from the recent Giro d'Italia - after Buenahora's crash when his fork broke, a few minute's later ther was a shot of Buenahora giving chase and Duffer's remarked "it looks like Buenahora's had a change of bike".

I remember this one as well. All I can say in defence is that DD has to make do with a small monitor that he can barely see, the quality of which is reminiscent of early John Logie Baird models. This fact alone actually accounts for quite a lot of the content of this page.

Hi guys

Loved the article on David Duffield. I've only just realised how Duffieldisms have crept in to my own conversation. Only the other day I was telling a friend how i came *a box of tricks* on my mountain bike.....and he looked at me with a blank stare!

I'll have to listen out over the next few weeks, but i reckon the saying is:....it's looking a bit *black* over Bills mothers....

Cycling on the box is not the same with out Mr Duffield........

Regards Phil
