LeMond Bicycles Versailles Women's

Price Paid:  $1800.00 at Atlanta Cycling

Model Year:
2007

Bike Setup:
Stock components (Shimano 105 and Ultegra)

Summary:
This is my first "real" road bike, though I have ridden others. The main appeal to me was the ability to get it in a small size (I had to buy the 45cm frame)- most other stock bicycles would not fit. It rides smoothly, handles well, and its WSD components are a perfect fit for me as a smaller girl- the handlebars have less of a severe drop, they aren't as wide, and everything was designed more compact with a woman in mind. It is also extremely light, topping out at maybe 18 lbs with a full pack on. I also get complimented on it's pretty appearance, too, which I know is not everything, but it's nice. Overall, gives a very smooth ride and is very responsive. I am happy with my bike and can't wait to put some more miles on it.

Strengths:
Responsiveness and handling, color, nice stock saddle

Weaknesses:
The only weakness I can even point out is with the white on the paint job dirtying easily from chain grease and road dirt. I spend a bit of time maintaining her appearance!
