I have to disagree here. The LeMond deal with Clark-Kent fell through 2 years before the Trek deal. The last 2 years of LeMond Ti bikes were made by Lightspeed. The Clark-Kent deal fell through because of the CP Ti parts CK was using in their frames. I have seen 4-6 of these bikes with broken stays or dropouts, I have never seen another Ti frame with that kind of history. As for the 853 tigged bikes, I will be the first to agree that they are not artwork bikes, but they do ride great. Thanks for gearing me out;-), Garry Nold lksbks@ix.netcom.com
