Thank you @
T-Mar for your insights. Quick question which you might know or someone else can contribute: What is the time frame for Lotus bikes? The vintage Lotus website concentrates on 1980-1990, but does not mention that they only had a 10-11 year history.
@
cudak888, yes, if you have a set of the AX chainrings, shoot me an email and let's see what we can work out. BTW, I believe I'll be able to find some time during the next few days to box this for you for it's trip south. I believe this morning's 32F temp is a bit cold for its old bones!
