Moulton Bicycle Club

I think that it was me asking about tubs, but since then I have commisioned a batch from a world known maker and should be arriving soon, so my first go on tubs then!
As for axle ..not sure …is it the right length?..ken

Well done david, A great choice for a sporting moulton, I have done many miles on the mk3 and find the short wheelbase and ease of mods very good….sorry no knowledge of capreo…might not be cheap […]

Hi Jason…there are always some used AMs for sale but perhaps more F frames, but they go pretty quick…so the early bird (with cash) etc….keep looking at the classified ads on this site too?

Matt, just a couple of guesses, but I always assumed that the P2 leaned back like this to allow more chain wrap around, with the bonus that it gave more ground clearance?

The club event at BoA in September would be a good bet?…there are always bikes for sale in the sales tent and outside!..and if not you could try out the new ones?

There were indeed six at condors used as sort of “demonstrators” for serious competition cyclists, with a view to forming a Moulton racing team, the raleigh take over stopped this […]

Thanks for the info David, that accounts for all six machines supplied to condor in my records…welcome to this forum and I hope you find something suitably sporting…like these on my flickr…ken […]

The addition of suspension to a fixed fork bike can only be an improvement, as you rightly say the later raleigh produced frames are of little value unsprung?

For ease of production […]

rob…it all depends on the way you want the bike….perhaps you want to go original, which you need to source cottered axle, bearings, cups etc?

or you may want to upgrade to sealed BB unit with cotterless […]

Might be confusing if you look at the speedsix cycling press adverts too?…they show a bike like the above, which was NOT a speedsix….to advertise the speedsix!

Anglophile? I have only just got arund to buying my first silk cravat!…I believe you guys call them ascots?…..Nearly fitted out for that MrB (the gentleman rhymer) recital soon….just need some “oxford […]

You sound like a regular FERRIS BUELLER !…..good to see all the British quality got appreciated….its good to have your input working on classic sixties moulton cycles…ken

It certainly looks like AM patented every detail and so its no wonder that the patent transfer grew in size, and of course the expanding export market meant more numbers…am I dreaming or have I seen USSR on some […]

I feel tempted to start a thread all about moulton brochures and ephemera now?

HAHAHA! Very funny Ian…just testing your knowledge about the excellent work….Paul was definitely the man for the job?

Have you collected all the HUFFY ephemera yet?..k

All the original speedsixes that I have seen have had the longer ones, it’s a bit like the old chestnut about gold tint headbadges (self adhesive) which are often seen on speedsixes, but nobody knows why?

Ian if you are so familiar with this excellent book, you will have seen my name in it.?…very generous by Paul…who is an absolute gent as well as researcher, writer etc….ken
