My Lotus Sport 110 shrine

With all the new nice frames out there that are aero and UCI regulated I just cant help bringing out my Lotus. It is still the most aero frame ever and will be so until UCI are not living in the 70’s. I am going to post pictures of my bike that will show you what the tech looked like a loooong time ago :slight_smile:

If there are any details that I have missed please post and I will photograph them and post them.

Beautiful, just get rid of the blue front tyre. The rest of the build is crying out for a plain black of red Race Pro 3. Personally I would get the decals off the bars and the disc but that’s just me.

tasty!

Beautiful!

But, that bike is crying for some aero brakes.

The bike beautiful, the lawn mower is broke.

Yeah the bike is amazing, but why is there a person with no pants on in the first picture?

That thing would be exponentially faster if you were to install a cassette. :wink:

Seriously though, that thing is begging for a BB brake mount. The normal mounting looks like a horseshoe hanging off the back!

We use shorts in the summer :slight_smile:

If I use the mower I might get some exercise. I do anything to avoid that.

With a cassette it is almost illegally fast :slight_smile:

My friend with a Cervelo P4 would beg to have his rear brake exposed. He missed a race because his BB broke when he had to adjust the brake. You need to remove the cranks to switch between racing and training wheels…

I have dicided to sell my Lotus.
