Classiques are the best. Here's mine--a circa 1984 I acquired as a frame from Thrifty Bill. It has a Sugino Apex wide-range double in 86 BCD with 48-32 rings. The wheels actually came off another Lotus Classique that passed briefly through my hands years ago. I love the way it rides. On a rainy ride last spring I ran into a bunch of Lotus car enthusiasts out on a road rally of some kind. We all posed for pictures together.
