History:
I loved the ride of the steel/carbon Lemond Zurich, to the extent that I ended up racing it a couple of times,
despite the fact that it was intended as a training bike. So I decided to upgrade to the Titanium version. The
frame is identical otherwise, just a bit lighter. I haven't had the time or weather to test ride it properly yet, but
I'm not expecting any surprises, it should ride just like the steel one. Nice and shiny though, and my first titanium
bike.
Purpose:
Fast training rides, commuting when I don't have stuff to carry. Even the occasional race!
