Gents,
I'm considering purchasing a LeMond all carbon frame (Maillot Jaune?) and am unsure as to the year (seller's got no idea). I know Calfee (then CarbonFabrications?) made some all carbon frames for LeMond in the early 90s; anyway to tell if it's one of those? Has LeMond offered an all carbon frame since? Thanks in advance.

Its probebly a Trek OCLV.Lemond offered these just after being purchased by trek.Note that although they were the same frame,the sizing was marketed differently.The 62cm Trek was the 59cm Lemond.
Treks were/are measured to the seat collar and Lemonds were measured c-c.They then advertised the Lemond as having a lomger top tube::)This was around '97.
I think Calfee and Lemond had a cooperation thing waay back but not that model name.

The frame made by Carbonframes is the "Lemond Alpe d'Huez" produced in 1991.
see http://calfeedesign.com/whoweare.shtml
The Carbonframes bike made for Lemond is very similar to the current Calfee's. That is to say there are gussets around the bottom bracket, head tube and seat stay/seat tube junctions.

Go to the photo gallery, type in Lemond under search and it will come up with several photos of Calfee/Lemond frames. If the one you're considering looks like those (or any current Calfee), then ya got a Calfee.
If it looks like an OCLV, then ya got a Trek!

If it's a Maillot Jaune, it's a Trek OCLV. I own one and it is an excellent bike. But it is a Trek.
