Moulton on Savile Row

Moulton Savile Row Shop Window

A Moulton SPEED has found an illustrious By Royal Appointment host this August in Savile Row, London. Surrounded by luxurious cashmere, and unique Dege and Skinner designs, the bicycle is taking centre stage in the bespoke tailor's shop window in the heart of Mayfair's "golden mile of tailoring". The Moulton SPEED, in aero-graded stainless steel, fits hand in glove with Dege and Skinner's pictured creations, being a fine example of British engineering and beautiful design. One for the album!

Update 24th August 2011: Thanks also to David Wilson for the extra pictures.

BoA 2011 Detail

Dear all members, As most will be aware, the latest Moultoneer is now out.

Unfortunately there is one detail missing from the application form to be sent to Arthur Smith - who to make cheques payable to! We can only apologise for this, please make cheques payable to MOULTON BICYCLE CLUB, not Arthur! Hopefully this has not caused too many problems, quite how such a detail slipped through past our eyes on checking the magazine prior to print I don't know!

One other thing, is there anyone willing to write up this year's club weekend for the next issue? 2/3 pages ideally, I am sure there will be plenty of nice photos flying about to use. Please email me at themoultoneer@yahoo.co.uk if you can help. Apologies and we look forward to a (hopefully) sunny and warm weekend

The Moulton is engineered to give the most comfortable and efficient ride, but structurally we like to think that it is a work of art which can be used for super-long distance we have completed Race Across America, speed events the bicycle holds a world speed record and commuting will soak up pot-holes due to its suspension, whilst being able to out-sprint many large-wheeled alternatives and it separates into two halves in less than a minute to go in the boot of a car or take on a train or plane.
