to older lugged framed bikes.
I bought another older (probably going to cause another uproar about the vintage/classic issue) Lotus this afternoon.
I stopped at a moving sale and there it was. Not sure of the year yet, complete lugged frame Lotus with Shimano grouppo, Biopace (yeck!) chainrings, rear book rack, etc, etc. The killer part is that there was also an extra Vetta seat and EXTRA set of 700c "Ambrosio 19" rims (no hubs/spokes). I'm building a fixed gear and these will substantially lessen the $$ blow when I build wheels.
When I have some time I'll post a pic or two and provide more exact details.
And regardless of whether it "fits" in this category, I know you guys will appreciate the find.
Oh yeah this will make 6 bikes in the basement to anger the wife.
