Thats the dilemma im faced with at the moment. Maybe the lower end six13 if i find a deal. Thoughts? Oh and I ride a caad 4 cannondale right now if that helps.

Well I love my 03 Lemond Zurich. But the answer is up to you try to ride all 3 then decide on feel and fit and $.

Don't ride all 3 or you'll end up like me.

Man. This is exactly what I am facing. I want a Lemond Zurich because of the ride qualitiy. It just seems to be such a solid feel with good tradition. Not super high tech but enough. Never hear bad things about this bike. I am going to ride one again just as soon as the weather breaks and I can get off work.

Have you ridden a Felt or a Scott? Hehe.. just kidding. I really like the Lemond. I really like the Madone, too, but the Lemond is probably more pleasing to me from an aesthetic point of view. (Similar ride)

I just realized you are in CT (sometimes anyway)...I'm not sure but Pedal Power in Middletown had a demo Lemond MJ in 55 for a good price. They offered it to me during the season for a good deal but I opted for the Zurich as I didn't wan to pony up the extra $- and I liked the blue better. I believe they swapped the wheelset out though and you could probably get it for way less than original...it it's still there.
If you do go there tell them Jamison sent you in...maybe I'll get a free something...

Sadly I need a bike in the 60cm range. BTW does anyone have a weight on the 2004 or 2005 zurich?

Newer stock Zurich is around 19 lbs depending on the actual components.

I tried out a '04 Trek 5000 and '04 Lemond Zurich last year. Both were great rides, a difficult decision but I chose the Zurich. Wish I could have afforded both of them.

I did the same but don't wish I could afford both of them. I wish I had the money to pour into upgrades or even to spend by combining the money and buying a Seven.

Not a lot of bad being said about the Zurich tonight huh?
My LeMond is such a great ride I vow right here and right now to never get rid of it. I have a steel Merckx, not as good. I have a Pinarello Prince, not as good. I used to have a Carbon Specialized, also not as good. I will put my LeMond against any bike for smoothness, acceleration, stability, anything. I don't think there are a lot of bikes as well designed as this one. I have even read a recent article in Bicycling where they said something similar!!!!!!
Just my humble opinion...................oh yeah and I have never ridden a Trek Road bike, and don't really care if I ever do. I think they are ugly, don't care how they ride.

I would say the Zurich as well. I was looking into an '05 Buenos Aires late last year.
