979 Pic of the bike still on the way. A friend is doing a nice shot of it for me. I thought it deserved better than the photo I can take! I love the silver Alan, pedals not quite period but A lot use clipless to use their shoes. I think the forn cable may be a tad on the long side, I could get...

vitus Not sure about a promenade in Scunny!! Trevor was in the scunthorpe road club, his shop was on Brumby corner. He was the chairman of the road club for several years. the club is still going and runs several open events for time trials as well as cyclo cross. I will post some pics soon...

I have just finished a sympathetic restoration of a vitus 979 built and raced by Trevor Credland. Trevor owned a bike shop in Scunthorpe for many years. The classic type of shop with only a small space for bikes but plenty of spares and of course lots of help and advice. Trevor was very active...

carbon I am not sure its even from Italy, I recall seeing an identical frame to this in some Taiwanese carbon frame makres catalogue. Wether or not they made it or if they had been inspired by a cinelli and done an artist impression of it (and pretended thay could offer it)I am not sure but it...

bob jackson Looks nice geometry for a big bike, shows the skill of the builder to get it looking right in these sizes, I am quite a tall lad and some bikes just look wrong. I have a couple of 25" custom frames one looks great the other .... well :? I have seen bigger frames with dropped tt...

Nice to meet up by accident, I am on the forum occasionaly, mostly the road bike section. My friend and I hope to come across to the north bank ride when details come out. It did rain hard didnt it!!! Good to see some classy bikes out. The Spitfire was great to see and hear overhead and the cafe...

pic Failed to attach pic for some reason :( Ha it was too big. Here we go

Yes, sorry for the delay. I intended to post some detail pics too but my friend who took these pics is really busy and has not had time to forward them to me yet. Bit of background. I bought a lotus in the early days but couldnt decide what to put on it, the contempory kit looked old fashioned...

thanks that woulod be good. I found a copy of the british eagle lotus caralogue so I will sacn it in and post some time this week.

Ah yes of course the yellow bannana bike ... how could I forget it :) . The lotus 108 was not sold commercialy was it?

Nice pic how did you get it? His firts hour bike was diferent in 1993. I was only prompted to mention this because I recall the first world hour record bike having the chain on the outside of the (different) rear stays and different handlebar configuration. I was hoping to post up a nice pic...

Yes I do recall some of that, I also recall that the original burrows prototype painted blue and black with red wheels was offered as a prize for a competition in the comic. i wonder who has it now?

Nice to see this brochure, was there another lotus bikes one. This looks like a "lotus cars" brochure featuring the bike. I am sure there was a lotus bike brochure with some other lotus 110 images in. This was produced by british eagle, the uk distributor at the time. I dont think I have a copy...

You are right, its just a bike thats not new! There is a bit of a story to the bike so I want to put that together and also post some nice pics. A friend of mine has taken some but not yet emailed them to me. I would like to show some of the more interesting parts close up rather than just a...

Just watched the video.. still gives me goosebumps :) I will put some pics of my Lotus up some time when I get them sorted. I am afraid its not very purist in retro spec terms.
