I was out of town when I saw the listing, but they guy returned my call and I snapped it up when I got back. It is not a lightweight by any means (heavier than both of the Loti I've owned), but it looks to be all original and is in very nice condition, except for the lack of decals (I hate it when they do that!). It does have the Lotus badge, and the fork crown is engraved with the Lotus flower in addition to the logo seat stay caps.
This one seems to fit better than my 53cm Lotus Excelle. I will have to measure, but looks to be a 56. Looks like the guy barely rode it - ever. I will have to cruise over to disraeli gears and check out the info on Suntour BL. I made a note of the serial number; I will post it later when I'm back home.
