My first bike was a Lemond Zurich back when they were made of steel. I think it is one of the best all-around bikes that is a perfect blend of price and performance. This bike is by no means cheap, but like the list says "it is worth the money!" If you're new to the sport of cycling or just looking for a new bike, i recommend you either splurge or save your money to buy a Lemond Zurich.
