Anyone remember the Lotus mountain bike?

[Pickle]

The 'remember the Aston Martin mountain bike' thread has reminded me of the Lotus mountain bike.

Anyone remember it?

My grey cells can remember it as green, with gold decals and XTR groupo, and out around the mid 90's.

Am I right? Pics anyone?

Lotus also did some aluminium bikes too, although the carbon one was the most remembered.

I had a mate who had an mtb one he thought it rode ok. Think they had 1 1/4 head sets. Made not far from me in Newtown Powys I believe.

Didn't Chris Boardman ride one for a while?
