FS: Early Lotus Classique frame/fork
Hello,
For sale is a really nice example of a Lotus Classique, estimated 1980-81 model. I mention early due to its gorgeous long point lugs and the original decals. Also Champion 1 butted frame to boot! The frame itself is small for me but has aggressive measurements for a fixie. It's in terrific shape with zero dings or dents. Frame is straight and has not be cold set at all. Headset is included, a few nicks but nothing out of the ordinary. A little paint removed from the fork as the pictures conclude. Rust on the headset is surface only. I'd be happy to clean it up before shipping if needed. Please let ,me know if you have additional questions. Asking $95 shipped to CONUS only at this time.
Thanks for looking,

Dang, I wish that was my size!
Good luck with the sale but you won’t need it. That’s a heck of a deal for someone fits that frame.

That is a really cool frame that could be an upright commuter of sorts for someone.

I think the OP was measuring CTC, which is how I always assume unless otherwise.
