No, that's a different model. Plus it's got Dura Ace AX, which is 7300, not EX, which is 7200. Also, the Supreme has round Tange Champion #2 tubing, whereas the Super Pro in the review has Tange aero tubing.

There was a listing on Ebay last month, an aero bike from this era, with Tange aero tubing, brazed by Tsunoda, with full Dura Ace AX, all like this bike, but it had no headbadge or other brand labelling. The listing said that Tsunoda made a bunch of these bikes, which were then imported into the US, and then distributors or dealers would label them. I wonder if this Lotus Super Pro was one of those? Lotus was not a bike manufacturer, after all.
