Lotus Sport Campagnolo (finished pg24) & XTR (finished pg29)

Re: Look for one Lotus Sport and two come along!

love that you went full campag, my favourite colour of the 2 also.

I’m liking the Green more than the Red (at the moment) but let’s wait and see what version II turns out like - I suspect it might be a close run thing

I like the brighter red against the chrome, the green is more 'lotus' for me though, not as much as black and gold mind Also the size/shape of the frame, a longer seatpost and i could more or less ride it.

That looks brilliant.

Cheers FFTC

I think the red might surprise a few when seen in the flesh... I did fancy doing a Black & Gold, but I’m reserving that in the slim hope I get hold of a carbon sport...

The seatpost has plenty more length tucked away in that tube, if you make it to MM2020 you can have a go!

That is rather lovely. Never built a campag bike. Chapeau.

You're both just imitating...

Peachy, while I applaud the build and attention to detail... is that at GT cable end on the rear brake??!

Was that "irritating" or "imitating"

Oh.... sharp eyes.... it’s like you’re RetroSpuds wing man..
Yes, I swapped out the Campy chrome end for the aluminium GT end as the Campy was just too sloppy in the Kalloy hanger/clamp combo thingy. Also the Olympus levers got the same treatment.

Depends on a couple of things I'm waiting for to finish off the build (hence the radio silence of late)
