You might be right, at least on this thread! Must have overlooked this or didn't dig deep enough...

Already got a few sets. And the shoes. And yes, I still wear them.

Spoiler

I posted these for sale a few years ago with no buyers and I'll steal the below quote from @ThermionicScott in his response as it was quite good and probably fits here too!

For a multi-speed cruiser, not a bad bike at all once you swap the saddle and tires (and maybe the wheels & crank if you're ambitious).

I do somewhat find it amusing I paid less than that for mine new back in 1995. But if someone is looking for something like this and wants to pay it, then great.

I was cleaning out the back shed today, and looky what I found:

Unopened for nearly a quarter-century. Must have decided I needed a spare at that price back then.

1972 Mondia Special (Cleveland, OH)

50/52 Lotus Single Speed - $450 (Brooklyn)

This may look like a junker but closer inspection shows its not. The frame is actually a Lotus Aero Super Pro.

This is what it should look like in place of the (above) Huffy cranks, and Walmart brakes.

It came with Dura Ace AR groupset . To me this is like a unicorn bike; almost impossible to find anywhere.

Thanks for posting this, best way to put them out there.

I'm pretty sure that if Harvey Sachs (over on CR) is going to some vintage cycling get-together, he always offers to bring his cobbler's anvil and related bits if anybody needs some nail-on cleats attached to their shoes.

They actually seen to be quite common on eBay, I guess because nobody wants them anymore.
