Just wanted to share pics of my latest project, an 80s Lotus Elan rebuilt with mountain bars and brake levers, an adjustable stem, and 'ergo' grips. Nothing fancy, just a comfortable utilitarian rider. Started with the frame, a decent 4130 CRMO frame from Japan, fresh grease all around. Kept the Ukai 27" wheels, needed only a slight truing. Got rid of the cheap cranks and front derailleur and replaced with a set of Suginos and a generic Shimano FD. So far so good.


Anyone else have any recent project to share?
