May ride it on a couple of triathlons this year.Ken Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14842614513954722508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2213621197967666803.post-54738512048399812772009-08-18T12:43:12.946-07:002009-08-18T12:43:12.946-07:00I think that is my bike!

You may want an new set of wheels, or to have the ones on there trued up (which would be the cheaper option). Take them in to a (good) local bike shop and have them checked out.<BR/><BR/>As to the tires, I have Continental City Rides on my other road bike and have really enjoyed them. Sheldon Brown also has a great page on tire sizing (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html). <BR/><BR/>I would love to hear how it goes. Drop me an update or a link with some pics!CrowMollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18032043331595630274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2213621197967666803.post-77581313949601547432009-03-19T19:30:00.000-07:002009-03-19T19:30:00.000-07:00I have a Lotus 3000R identical in frame color to y...I have a Lotus 3000R identical in frame color to your own. Bought it new many years ago. I want to restore it, but am at a loss regarding replacement of the Weimann 2115 rims (27x1.25). I'm a 225 pounder and would like heftier rims and tires, if possible. Any advice appreciated. Jack McG, West Chester, PAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
