Default LeMond Geometry

What is it about the LeMond geometry that makes it unique? If someone
has ridden a LeMond and a non-LeMond what is the geometry difference? What
does it give, what does it take away?

Not really "unique", aside from a slacker seat tube angle and slightly longer
top tube than comparably-sized European frames.

The head and seat angles are slightly slacker than other bikes giving a

ride
that is not "twitchy" at slow speeds but carves well at ~30mph .


I thought it was a steeper head angle?


Plus the top
tube is slightly longer when compared to a non Lemond bike.




What
does it give, what does it take away?


Gives- comfortable ride, great control, better breathing,

Takes- no good if youve got a real short torso
