• I am trying to learn more about my hotta, I know hotta are a now defunct British company, the Internet isn't really saying much apart from "they were expensive" does anyone have any interesting trivia on them? Are they connected to lotus bikes? Excuse essay and lack of imbedded image, posting from my phone

  • needs risers

  • I'm guessing you're aware that yours was called a tt700
    They also did some more "normal" diamond frames (P700/perimeter) - also branded Dunlop at one stage
    I seem to recall that some of them had some kind of death-fork (prone to breakage at the crown I think)
    Can't really remember much more than that, and the above facts are a bit shaky.
    So rad tho. definitely needs risers

  • Heh James , nice machine ! I have just acquired a P-700 & will be building up as a road bike - seemingly it was team issue to McCartney pro racing back in the day, & yes,the forks (which I have kept just to retain the pairing for originality /collectability?? ) are horrendously unstable & dangerous - I have replaced with a pr. of 1" trek aero bladed equinox CF forks, which sit nicely in the mix, just on with ordering the decals in yellow like yours, getting it back to original condition, but with Record 'everything' it might be a while- £££ ! cheers Phil
