I'm sorely tempted. And it would fit. Thoughts??

I came "this" close to hitting the buy it now button on that very auction this morning. If you go to Sheldon Brown, there are some resources for the Bridgestone 300s. There is also a Bridgestone 100 on ebay, but a lot heavier. The 300 is a better bike. It's beautiful isn't it?

Edit: I think this is it! 1987. 27 pounds.

Here's my recently refurbished and singleated Takara. All she needs now is a honey Brooks!

p.s. She is much prettier in real life... I still haven't learned how to take good bike pics.

She's pretty in pictures, too!

She is pretty

What kind of bars are those?

Thanks! According to the ebay seller, they are the Nitto "all rounder" bar. However if you google nitto all rounder, you get something totally different. (the bars do say nitto on them). So i'm not really sure... Soma makes some that are pretty similar, though these have a nice rise which I like.

ETA: they say Nitto B483

Wasn't me...I got the fun of working from 7:30 yesterday morning until 10:30 - so...didn't have time to think about it more. *sigh*

I love the color of that Lotus! So unique!!

Here's an updated pic of my mixte set up the way I ride her. I'd still like to get albatross bars & a chain ring guard, but this works for now. I added the fenders, the basket, the bottle cage, and the new tubes & tires. I also changed out the seat post to a more modern one and added my own saddle.

They are hard to see, but those little white patches on the frame are reflective pinwheel stickers covering up the worst of the rust spots!

I apologize for the poor photo - my camera isn't working so this was taken with my cell phone in low light.

GLC- is that the bike you'll commute on now that you live 20 miles from work?

**GLC1968** · 05-09-2008, 08:03 AM

Absolutely not! Can you imagine?

I was actually thinking that I'm going to have to sell this little girl.

There's not much near our new home that would make this bike of any use. And it's just too cute to sit in the garage for the duration of it's life!

**F8th637** · 05-09-2008, 08:04 AM

Ladies, I am so excited! I think I'm going to take this on as a project. I probably don't need another bike with drops especially if it's just going to be an around-the-town and back-up bike. I'm checking out all the different possibilities on-line and they are certainly drool-worthy. Sandra, my Lotus is like the same color as yours. The honey is nice! Now to read the whole thread to get some good information from you ladies.
