Lotus Franken Gravel Winter Bike
I got the Lotus Eclair converted, to a winter/gravel bike, out yesterday. I love riding this bike! This is a two speed kickback SA. I am looking forward to winter now!

Nice. Did that come with the Shimano crank with the odd size bolts making clipless hard to do? I ask because I almost bought one of these a few years back but did not because of that.
Love the color.

I'm pretty sure the frame came from Thrifty Bill.
I getting ready for another ride.
Hopefully on Christmas day as well.

That might be the first picture of a bike with the latest Open Pro rims posted here.
