Bottom Line: I purchased the 2008 edition and absolutely love it. THe ride is easy with the carbon rear triangle, fork and seat post. It is also a very stiff ride for those who like to drop the hammer. Bike is well worth the not so expensive price tag.
Favorite Ride: anywhere on a cool morning
Price Paid:
$900.00

Strengths: Comfortable frame, Tiagra shifts nice, wheels are bullet proofWeaknesses: - Saddle.Bottom Line: Was looking for an entry level racing bike after being out of the sport for a 10+ years. Tried to get the 2007 (red) model due to the full 105, but my size was not available. '08 model componentry drops a little to Tiagra, but IMHO a better frame. Aluminum main triangle with carbon fork and rear end.
All in all, a very nice ride.
Actually at 2008 (black and white)
Favorite Ride: Waterfront + Lands End

Strengths: Speed, comfort, good components at a great price.Weaknesses: Brakes and myselfBottom Line: Bike is actually a 2008 model.
I started road riding again this spring after a 25 year hiatus. I started with a Brodie cyclocross which was an excellent multipurpose ride. During the week, I mount a rack on it and it becomes my commuter. Daily commute, about 35 miles. Weekends, I'd mount 23mm tires and go roading with my buds. It was always a struggle keeping up with these guys and for the most part, I attributed it to myself.
About a month ago, I went to get a tire for my cyclocross and ended up buying the Tourmalet (go figure).
What a difference. It was as if I found a couple new gears. Went on my Saturday morning ride with the regulars and couldn't believe how much easier it was keeping up with the pace and how much energy I had in reserve after the ride. And fast!
I like the geometry of the Lemond. I'm a bit longer in the torso and shorter in the leg and really felt comfortable on the bike. Stock seat is surprisingly comfortable and shifts are butter smooth. Brakes are so-so and I might try different pads in the future, but they are more than adequate. Handling is superb, and the ride is a big improvement over the cyclocross.
Although this was a unexpected purchase, I've tried a Specialized Allez and a Felt Z65 and a very happy with the Lamond

LightWeaknesses: Handlebars are a bit wide, I've experienced a little back soreness after some rides cause of it.Bottom Line: Great bike!!
