Moulton Bicycle Club

Sorry Ken,
Been away for a while so not been getting my daily dose of Moulton type stuff. Thanks for the info, makes sense so I’m sure you’re right. Wasn’t the design of the P2 (or the Campag mech it was […]

From a layman’s point of view (as in no experience but been thinking about it), you could cold set the rear forks to fit the Capreo hub (I saw a blog somewhere of someone hot setting them for the same hub but […]

Pretty rubbish guess, don’t go cutting them up! : o )

Ahh, very true. Thanks Ian,
Matt

By the way Ian, I noticed the black stuff the decal is on in your picture looks a lot like the Gem bar tape the Speedsix used. I just bought some from eBay in the US and saw it was made in Leicester just down the […]

Does anyone know what the font is? Is it the grotesque like the rest of them?

Ian, if I manage to get it looking ok I can send you some samples. Fingers crossed the laser will make the lettering more opaque. […]

Hi Ian,
Do you have a template for the decal at all? If I could get a copy I’ll try it on the laser printer and see if it’s not as translucent.
How’s the renovation coming along by the way?
Matt

I’ve used some water slide decal paper for laser printers (being laser it’s waterproof and the ink doesn’t react to our 2k poly paints) with mixed results in the past, they sometimes shrink or pickle the […]

If I take your question literally then the best is considered to be Phil Wood which can also be adjusted side to side to fine tune the chain line. You’re looking at around £100 for a new one though.
Axle length […]

Didn’t think so John, I’m in the camp that prefers the mk1 forks. Looks fantastic on that lovely bike! The AM’s not too shabby either : o )

All I can say to that Ian is I hate you! : o )

Don’t suppose anyone knows where I can source the decal? Julian’s run out unfortunately and he doesn’t plan to make any until later in the year.
Matt

Sorry things have been tough Ian, I hope your future endeavours are even more successful. Do you have some kind of English connection? That’s a pretty impressive list of English icons; just need a E Type and […]

I’ve never seen a Harrington before but that’s one amazing looking car! Sounds like you’re living my dream lifestyle, lots of cool projects to play with and the cool big boys toys to make stuff for them.

Thanks for that John, sounds like a effective solution none the less. I migh have to have a look in to that.

That’s attention to detail! Totally worth it too! Can I ask what brazing set up you have, seems very difficult to get oxy acetylene if you’re not a business.
It’s shocking what people do to these wonderful […]

Hi Ian,
Can I ask what your background is? It’s unusual for find someone who’s savy about paint and reading between the lines you’ve worked on pretty nice Moultons. Sure there’s an interesting back story […]

That’s a picture to make anyone jealous John! I Noticed the black one has a mk1 rear fork, didn’t realise Speedsixes had them.
The dock tailed yellow beast looks great; looking at the frame it’s got the same […]

I think mine was far worse if I’m honest. The rear forks looked worse than they were, someone had covered them in brown paint which saved the metal.
Mine seemed to have a thin layer of white primer on it, in […]

Exciting pictures Ian! I see the dampers have cause some rust in the same place as mine. Generally, mine’s in pretty good nick really. I’ve sprayed an epoxy etch, then applied a filler primer which I’ve rubbed […]
