Description
The 2000 LeMond Zurich, crafted from Reynolds 853 double-butted steel, stands as a testament to a golden era of classic road bikes. This model was highly regarded for delivering the signature “steel ride quality” – a remarkable blend of lively responsiveness, exceptional comfort, and superb durability that many enthusiasts still prefer over more modern materials. Reynolds 853, a high-strength, air-hardening steel, allowed for thinner, lighter tubing without sacrificing stiffness where it mattered, providing an efficient platform for climbing and sprinting while soaking up road chatter. The Zurich, with its slightly longer wheelbase and stable geometry, epitomized LeMond’s philosophy of offering a comfortable and confident ride suitable for long distances and diverse road conditions, securing its place as a cherished and sought-after steel classic among connoisseurs.

A little about the seller: I’ve been in the cycling industry for more than 30 years (I know, that makes me old!). I’ve been a professional bicycle mechanic for most of those years, including working locally at Lee’s Cyclery before they became Trek Stores. Now I work from home as a Customer Success Manager for a software team. But I still love fixing up and working on bikes, and riding them too! Purchase from me with peace of mind. Not only can you trust my years of experience, but I will also fit you for the bike and provide any mechanical insight at the time of purchase. No warranties or refunds are provided. The bikes are sold as-is. But It includes follow-up minor adjustments and fitting if needed within the first 30 days if sold locally.
Shipping information: I ship UPS Ground and the bike is disassembled. I do have a video to help in putting back together. Usually, it’s the Bars, Front Wheel, Pedals, and Seatpost that need to be put back on. I try to keep it simple. It will be packed very well, but if you see any damage to the box or bike keep the box and packing material plus, take pictures. I do insure all bikes that are shipped and require a signature. In addition, if shipped out of Colorado, there is no Sales Tax. Colorado customers, try to buy Local. Info below:
For Local Purchases Only:
If you’re local to Loveland, Colorado, it is highly recommended to come to check it out in person. A professional fitting is included with each bike sold to ensure you have the right size bike and it fits you. All bike showings are by appointment only, so feel free to grab some time off of my calendar.
