Yes, twenty pounds more than a bag of sugar is what that Lotus probably weighs. Must be the new math kicking in. I feel a little bad for the forlorn fixie, though - The Pan-O-Sonic was probably decent prior to being bro-converted.
The cluelessness makes perfect sense when you consider the zip code there in Philadelphia. Fishtown and NoLibs are currently home to aspiring artists, community activists, philosophers, amateur musicians and those that cater to (and know how to exploit) young skulls full of goo with inflated self-worth. At least the bikes are appropriately priced... Normally the Pan-O-Fix would have at least two hundred dollars and a case of PBR tacked onto the price.
I'd have bagged the Lotus myself if I didn't already have a project underway, and the bike had actually fit me.
