Description
Zurich is our best-selling LeMond, and the 2001 Zurich is the best Zurich ever, thanks to Reynolds new 853 Pro tubeset. The ends of the air-hardened 853 tubes in the Zurich frame’s main triangle are shaped, and ovalized to resist pedaling and cornering stresses. Shaped tubes mean the Zurich frame is stronger but just as light. Because of the directionality of the ovals, the frame is more rigid but just as smooth riding. Zurich’s now boast one and one-eighth-inch threadless steerers on their Icon Carbon Air Rail forks, so they steer even sharper than fine-steering Zurich’s of the past. A Zurich looks like bikes have looked for decades, only better. Faster too, probably because of 853 Pro and Rolf Vector Comp wheels. It has that clean, traditional look that says “bicycle” in a way that fat-tube bikes don’t. You may love that look, or you may simply trust steel, Reynolds steel, and like how it moves over the road.

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.

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.
