    What year are you looking for? LeMond went from a classic/straight top tube design to a sloping top tube around 2004 or 2005(ish). I've never seen a reference to a 47cm size in the newer models--just 45, then 49. Standover height for the 49 seems to run 728-732mm depending on model, btw. (http://web.archive.org/web/200702281...s/road_racing/)

    If you're talking about one the classic steel models, the standover of a 47cm frame is 739mm. (http://ia700102.us.archive.org/13/it...2001Lemond.pdf)

    BTW, based on your last LeMond thread, I just thought I would mention that we're the same height, I have about half an inch greater inseam, and I most comfortably ride 51 or 53 cm LeMond bikes.

    Thanks again for your help. Still looking at a 2001 (long distance) and what we thought was a 47 turns out to be a 49. The standover for the 49 is 75.2 and I'm 75cm. I think I could probably ride it without too much hassle but a real quick get-off might be challenging.

    Besides, my current TCR is just a tad large for me and the last thing I want is another bike that doesn't fit. Guess I'll keep looking for an '01 47cm (love the paint job) or something a bit newer in carbon. On a budget so my choices are a bit limited.

    Ultraviolet, thanks again, most appreciated.
