Yeah, I kind of figured that. I guess I was hoping someone would say with great authority: "The Lotus Legend was the Bianchi San Jose of its time. . . ." Or not.
I sort of inherited this bike — it was mine in high school, but I left it untouched in my parents' garage for 30 years. (Not kidding.) Only when I started bike commuting recently did I look into getting it back. Now I love it, but . . . the cassette failed, and so did the rear rim. I was thinking that if other parts need replacing, maybe I'll just replace the bike. But I fear that I'm looking at an Atlantis rather than a Cross-Check. And I can't afford an Atlantis.
