Lemond Poprad 2008
I purchased the Poprad after riding several different Cyclocross bicycles. I preferred the Poprad over the Specialized Tricross and Surly Crosscheck.
Some highlights quotes from the Lemond website:
Poprad is a city in Slovakia where Matt Kelly won the first American World Championship in Cyclocross—on a LeMond.
Pros:
The front and rear derailleurs are the Shimano 105 and Ultegra; so smooth you can not even tell you have shifted. The feel of the ride is smooth but it also seems to handle more like a road bike than the Specialized.
The steel frame is made in the USA, which was a selling point for me. The seat post and front fork are carbon.
Aesthetically, the Poprad is a hands down winner. The white frame with white handlebars is SICK!!
Cons:
It set me back about $1500, whereas the Surly, my second choice, was a couple hundred less.
