Ok, here is the humble build list, the Lotus weighed in at a husky 29 pounds:

Frame: Tange 5 cro moly
RD: Shimano light action
FD: Shimano Altus
Crank: Sakae SX
Stem: SR
Brakes: Wienmann 750 looooong reach with new Shimano levers
Shifters: Suntour Bar ends
Pedals: new MKS touring
Saddle: Wrights W3N (10.50 local pu on ebay woot)
Fenders: SKS
Rack: Bontrager back rack
Rims: araya (might switch out for dark gray Wolbers)

Here is the donor of 85% of the parts, a 10 dollar Fuji Tivoli bought on the exact same day as the Lotus:
