Road Bicycle Rims
A road bicycle is similar to a racing bicycle. However, road bikes are built more for endurance and less for fast bursts of speed, which is desired in a racing bicycle. They usually have more gear combinations and fewer hi-tech racing features.

Classic Lotus Supreme Road Bicycle
This original Classic Lotus Supreme Columbus SL, a Beautiful Road Bike was purchased at a local bike shop in Maryland in 1987.
I have been looking and researching for Lotus Supreme and it seems not a whole lot information has been collected and archived over the years. Anyhow, I am sharing my photos for affectionados out there.
The specs are:
Campagnolo Super Record Crankset 172.5 52/42
Campagnolo Super Record Brakeset (Front and Rear)
Campagnolo Super Record Rear Deraileur
Campagnolo Chorus Front Deraileur
Regina Synchro 8 Speed Freewheel (13-14-15-16-17-18-19-21)
Shimano 105 Chain
Mavic Gel 330 Black Adonized Rims (Vittoria and Continental Tubular Tires) 32 Holes
San Marco Roll Vintage Saddle
Campagnolo Nuovo Record Seat Post 27.2
Original Campagnolo Headset, but replaced with Shimano due to bearing pitting.

The frame is not especially light, at 4lbs, 11oz. The fork weighs in (uncut) at 1lb 11oz, for a total frameset weight of 6lbs, 6oz. (2885g). All in, as shown, the bike is 20lbs, 8oz.
I built the wheels with Sun ME13II 32h rims, DT Revolution spokes and Superbe Pro hubs. The rear hub has an OLD of 130, and I've mounted a 13x26 Sachs/Aris 8-spd freewheel. It would have been easy to build the bike with a 21st-century gruppo from Campy, SRAM or Shimano, but I wanted to keep it looking mostly traditional.
I really like the stainless steel water bottle cages, only 34g and available for a reasonable price from Velo Orange.
