Lotus Super Pro Aero 58cm Steel frameset English BB bicycle road bike pink

Description

Lotus Super Pro Aero 58cm Steel frameset English BB CyclArt Pink Upgraded
Review of condition
Purchased new in box eighteen years ago and placed in storage. Lotus Pink finish restored three years ago by CyclArt. Down-tube bosses and chain stay cable stop have been brazed on so that the frame can accommodate modern component groups (rather than Shimano Dura-Ace AX components it was originally designed for). Built up and placed on display. Clean. No storage or riding wear. Features include Tange Aero Dynamics CR-MO oval shaped steel tubes, fillet brazing, internal top tube brake cable routing, Shimano Dura-Ace HP-7401 headset, Shimano dropouts, compatibility upgrades, and a restored Lotus Pink finish that channels the spirit of Jim Back’s epic transcontinental ride. Seat post not included. An immaculately restored and highly rideable frameset that is ready to return to the road.
