Was "sold" at 400 quid last time out - whatever the provenance, a very pretty bike at that price!

I like this sales pitch
FRAME SIZE IS 18 INCHES - NOT SURE WHICH POINTS MEASUREMENTS ARE FROM?

So he does not know how to get a tape measure out and find this out

Not sure what make Lotus bikes rare, given the fact that a few have cropped up including the real good and proper lotus bikes. Or I would guess just the fact people will think something named with Lotus should be rare.


Really good bit of graphics background blanking though. Makes it look newer and less used than the rusty bolts, scratches and dirt. It makes you think it's a showroom condition.

I am no expert on bikes but i do know a little bit about Lotus and as far as I know every car lotus have made has a"mark" or "type" number and even the chris boardman bike he used at the olympics had a type number , that was Type 108 , when the production version of the same bike came out it was a Type 110

Cant see the bike on eBay on this list ?????

This is one of the Lotus bikes made by Merida, iIrc. I believe that this is a later model than the green coloured one, but still worth £400 for the XTR anyway.

Is it the same bike as the "Lotus Sports" bikes of the mid-90s?

It is indeed.

So was it just a bike made for lotus and not one like the carbon boardman bike that lotus made them self ??
