Well, I posted my beloved Lotus Classique on the local C/L as a lark, it was really too small, but it was the one bike I had left stock, and the bike that had been in my keeper fleet the longest. Wouldn't you know it, sold in a day. Told the buyer, I was getting ready to pull my ad and keep the bike...... I also sold off my Paramount Series 3 about two weeks ago, beautiful bike as well, but smallish.

So today I picked up the chrome Katakura Silk, more my size, kind of interesting. I'll build it up with vintage parts, and it will take the place of the Lotus. We'll see how this plan works out. Can't keep every bike, and I have plenty.
