There is a Bottechia-ridden-in-the-TdF by LeMond at the US Bicycling Hall of Fame in Somerville, NJ. That one was given to the museum by LeMond.

Every day there are bicycles being sold with claims that they were ridden by Merckx, Armstrong, etc. We could probably add LeMond to the list. Unless there is proof, I think any "claims" are fairly worthless. Angel Garcia Long Valley, NJ
