Bridgestone Prototype Suspension
April 26, 2008 in Moulton
This picture shows Alex Moulton on a special Bridgestone Moulton. Two things stand out – firstly, the parallel wishbone stem and Mosquito handlebars. Standard issue on the Double Pylon, but I have never seen them on a Bridgestone before.
The second and more interesting feature is the suspension. Instead of the usual telescopic suspension, this bike features a hybrid unit – a flexitor system at the top and leading links at the bottom.
The flexitor assembly looks very similar to that fitted to the New Series / Double Pylon. The leading links are much larger than those fitted to the ATB/APB/TSR, due to the larger distance between the fixed forks.
Will this make it into production? Who knows?!

If somehow it’s de-uglified? But anyway, it’s on the wrong model! Hello TSR??

“-de-uglified”?
Why so?
This bike looks absolutely great to me.

It’s out of keeping with the rest of the design. Small tubes are of the X-frame.
