Hi,
I bought an Aura V this year, and the way it's set up for me, I'm in a
fairly upright position. On a long ride, I actually tend to feel it
more in my seat than my hands. I was sort of between sizes (the 52
and 55) but the shop was able to set up both sizes similarly (by
changing the stems) for me for comparison. So, I'm thinking with the
right frame size and stem combination, you can achieve a fairly
upright position, if that's what you're looking for. Can the shop
help you out with trying different stems?
I don't have any experience with the lemond.
Good luck,
Jason
