Just been thinking about what colour tires to go for or even what make :roll:

Nope not a-pro, probably made at the factory down the road from them then
I would guess 1993/4 btw, we've had a few of the Lotus branded bikes on here (ignoring the carbon boardman style one)

The silver/black/silver scheme does look really nice.

iirc, British Eagle made them.

Very fat that explains why the tubes are so oversize, but they are very thin in the down tube you can just tell be taping them lightly

Someone told be all these Alloy Lotus bike was sprayed up in all the Lotus Esprit colours from them early couple of 90s Blue, black, dark red & green. This one is the gloss black

I have the advert for this one somewhere.

Unfortunately the other adverts have long since vanished and I hadn't got them into the Archive.
Search for British Eagle BOSS and you should get the person with the catalogue.

Just been looking on the net the pics vanished of this bike in the original cataloge

What do you think to these tires for the colour

Just looking at the Lotus add are they Red Onza porcipaws or ules im thinking of going red but not 100% any thoughts, Noticed the F1 cars have some red on them

They look like Ules to me

Sadly due to time constraints there's been precious little progress.

:cry: whats it ride like, any comparisons to any other bikes you've tryed

I like these Lotus bikes they have very english feel very much a quality look & feel like some Pace bikes. Yet to try the lotus out though

Been looking though some of my old videos and notice these Aluminium Lotus bikes being raced in a week long enduro challenge in 94 or 1995 called the crocodile challenge in Australia
