It's been real, but it's time for a new bike. I'm going to keep the lotus as a project bike and eventually put SKS fenders on it to make it a rain bike. Before that though, I need to touch up the paint and take it apart again. I also need to make the fit less race-y. It's been a great bike. I definitly felt like the only thing holding me back on it was the gear ratio given by the six speed mountain bike freewheel. The jumps between gears were just too big to contest sprints on the flats. The downtube friction shift could be annoying at times, but the shifting was always very clean and never let me down.
