After waiting for Greg Lemond’s top-line ebike Prolog, I am left wanting.
Magazine WIRED introduced it in its article Review: Lemond Prolog https://www.wired.com/review/lemond-prolog. For those popular with ebikes at Specialized, the Prolog seemed similar as a cross between the Creo and Vado SL versions. WIRED said
Premium components. Extremely light, all-carbon-fiber frame. Incredible paint job. Reliable 250-watt smart Mahle drivetrain. Versatile 11-speed gearing system. Integrated front and rear lights. Feels just like an analog ike. Great packaging.
But WIRED added negatively.
Incredibly expensive. I’d feel nervous locking it up in front of the bar. My friends call it the “Wife Bike.”
Likewise, I can’t decide for what customer market Lemond aims. The Prolog looks a lot like the Specialized Vado SL at the same price of $4,500. Plus it is 26 pounds lighter than the Vado at 33 pounds. But, it misses many other marks.
