2008 Lemond Poprad disc steel cyclocross bike 55 cm Bontrager Select disc clinchers 10-spd

Frame and Wheel is auctioning a 2008 Lemond Poprad Disc steel cyclocross bicycle (size 55 cm) on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store. The bicycle was purchased new at Cape Able Bike Shop in Kennebunkport, Maine in 2007. It was raced twice in 2008 and then used for off season training. It has never been crashed. The bicycle has been unridden for the past few years and has been stored in a basement. It has had only one owner. The owner is selling it because he does not ride it anymore. The bicycle features Avid BB7 disc brakes (non hydraulic), a Bontrager Satellite Elite carbon fiber front fork, Bontrager Select Disc 24 spoke wheels and the following upgrades: Ritchey Mountain Pro stem (90 mm), Selle San Marco saddle, and FSA Gossamer 46T/36T (170 mm arms) crank set. The bicycle as shown weighs 22 pounds 12 ounces. The serial number on the bottom of the down tube reads WL3510280. No pedals or water bottle cages included. There are 100 images of the bicycle at Frame and Wheel eBay Selling Services and on Facebook at Frame and Wheel. Please take a look. The bicycle is being sold as is.

Review of condition

The bicycle is in good condition. It is clean and ready to ride. The derailleur hanger is straight and the front and rear forks are in alignment with the center line of the frame. The handlebars are not bent and the handle bar tape is fresh. The finish of the frame is bright and the stickers are not peeling off. There is no wear on the bottom of the down tube, on the back of the seat tube or under the crown of the front fork. The shifting is smooth and complete and there are no cracks in the cable housing. The brakes work well and the braking surfaces of the rotors show light wear. The wheels are true and round and the spokes are straight and tight. The treads are fresh and there are no rips in the sidewalls. The hubs spin smoothly and the pawls are quiet. The splines on the freewheel hub body are not heavily notched. There is no play in the bottom bracket. The chain does not read 0.75 or 1.0 on the chain wear tool.

Frame and Wheel notes the following. There are two 5 x 5 mm bulges in the finish on the underside of the drive side chain stay. There are similar but smaller bulges in the finish on the underside of the non-drive chain stay. The seat post is very difficult to install, adjust and to remove. There are two chips in the finish on the non-drive side of the down tube (one is 2 x 10 mm and the other is 3 x 3 mm in size). There is a 5 x 5 mm chip on the non-drive side of the head tube. There are abrasions on the tops of the dual shifters. here is a scratch on the end of the drive-side crank arm. There is corrosion in or on the following locations: the chain, the cable fixing bolts on the brakes, the bolts on the brake rotors, the chain ring bolts, the metal pads in the brake calipers, the bolts on the down tube boss, the water bottle cage bolts, the quick release skewers, the surfaces of the chain rings, the surfaces of the rear cassette cogs, the nipples of the spokes and the inner tube valves. Frame and Wheel carefully inspected this bicycle, but cannot guarantee that every imperfection has been spotted.

Frame and Wheel conclusion

Frame and Wheel’s view is that this bicycle will make an excellent entry level cyclocross bicycle. It will also do very well as an all weather commuter bicycle. The steel frame and carbon front fork promise a smooth ride and the disc brakes are very effective in wet or muddy conditions. Frame and Wheel points out that Lemond bicycles are no longer in production and that the Lemond Poprad Disc was only in production for a single year. This means that this bicycle is on its way to becoming a unique and classic bike. Mr. Lemond would approve and so will you.
