mstateglfr,
Thanks for the quick reply. I question the forks because the website (same one you linked) says the forks have an engraved crown. In the website pictures, I can see the shape of the crown but I can't see the engraving. There is a picture with engraving on the chrome crowns. The fork on this Lotus doesn't appear to have the crown shape or engraving. What do you think?

By the way, I'm looking for a bike to keep and ride without going all in right now. I like the bike as far as appeal.
