Moulton Bicycle Club

Matt, the speedsixes did not have series one rear forks but some early S bikes did and also some of the early works racing machines like this […]

Matt, I just use a halfords gas torch and silver solder, about a tenners worth. A few fire bricks and you’re away. I am only doing small stuff, cable guides etc. The day rack was cold formed around a sturmey […]

Matt, I brazed on the rack strut mounts, the frame was a 1965 deluxe. I cut off the tailbeam and fixed a seat collar from a dead moulton frame to act as a clamp. A steel seat pin squashed in a vice was brazed into […]

That is lovely. With the value of originals it makes sense to ride around on a replica. When I was into large wheel bikes I had Tom Board build me a replica Paris Galibier. Tom built the originals and the old guy […]

I have a later “transverse seat tube” speedsix but that has been painted black long before I got the bike. It had also been fitted with a 7 speed hub gear! I intend to return it to more or less standard spec. I […]

The white embacher speedsix has a small hole on the headtube where the headbadge would be riveted on, but as it is a speedsix it has the stick on badge. The light blue ’65 speedsix also had this “spare” hole […]

The S safari came without a carrier or front wheel, I made my own spar for the carrier. The spokelock was on the […]

No Tom,
the blue S safari I had was sans frame number, comparing the frame with my blue continental frame they looked identical apart from the docked tail, they even had the front spoke lock……..perhaps I […]

These export type frames are very similar to moulton major frames and I noticed that Ken’s ex Peter Lea bike still has the dynamo cable hole on the short top tube and as Ken pointed out, the remains of a braze on […]

I must admit I have experienced real joy from moulton enthusiasts all over the world. I am constantly in touch with many moultoneers I have fortunately been able to help with parts etc.

It would be nice to see a line up of bikes spanning the 50 years…an evolutionary bicycle chain.
It would be nice to see your moke as well Ken with perhaps a few more minis. Has anyone got a mini van that could […]

I am guilty as well…….serial watcherJB

I carried out this mod. I needed a longer bottom bracket, an inner chain ring, a front mech and and a shift trigger, prices depend on what spec level you want. It is a worthwhile mod to […]

Seconded! a wonderful issue …..and the best cover ever. Those doors are as iconic as the bikes

looks like a ’64 or ’65 standard

the wheel only needs to slide forward so that the chain can be relocated on the other set of cogs, when the chain is tensioned again the wheel should return to the same position. I think there was a 4 tooth […]

I agree Ken, of my four current mk3 bikes two are duomatic equipped, perhaps I will put on an extra cog and chainring. One of the nice little touches on the marathon was a braze on torque arm point (with a sliding […]

as the one who supplied Hans with the stowaway jointed mk3 frameset that became the marathon replica I suppose I should make a comment. I got the bike from Tim the vicar and kept the extensively reworked rear […]
