Check out the new Sturmey Archer Catalogue for 2009/2010.
Lots of goodies including the S3X fixed gear, 3-speed, the new wide-ratio 8 speed hub and a variety of new shifter. You have, of course, seen all of these on Moultonbuzz previously!
Moulton Bicycle Company Website
The Moulton Bicycle Company have launched their new website at www.moultonbicycles.co.uk.
It's a very sleek, modern design, which is easy to navigate, and has lots of pretty pictures, including new photography of the bicycle range, and accessories.
The range shows the entire range of bicycles previously under the separate Alex Moulton and Pashley ranges. It also features the AM-GT and AM-Speed "classics". The website states that "these iconic bicycles feature the original Alex Moulton designs, unchanged from their first conception".
Also shown is the Limited Edition Moulton 50 as shown below.
Alex Moulton Bugatti Lecture
A video has been posted on YouTube showing Alex Moulton's Bugatti Lecture at Coventry University in November 2008. It's over an hour long, so put the phone off the hook, boil the kettle, sit back and enjoy...
Sturmey Archer S3X – Hub Specs and Shifters
From the Sunrace Sturmey Archer site...
Thank you everyone for your comments. The response to the new S3X has been overwhelming and we are really looking forward to finishing up and getting this hub into your hands.
The name will not be changing. I appreciate everyone's thoughts on naming it after Sheldon, it just is not possible.
Some of the most asked questions should be answered with the below pictures. Hub will be 120mm OLD. Two shifters, top mount thumb and bar end. Cog interface is a standard Shimano spline.
The post shows details of a bar-mounted thumb shifter...
... and a bar-end shifter...
New Moulton Websites
The new URL for this site is moultonbuzz.com. The new domain name should make it easier to remember. The old link should continue to work, but just in case it stops working in the future, please update your bookmarks.
The RSS feeds are processed through FeedBurner, so they should need no modification.
Speaking of new websites, the new Moulton Bicycle Company has registered the domain moultonbicycles.co.uk, and there you can find an "under development" page, showing the new logos and colour scheme.
The text on the site refers to the Moulton Bicycle as "comfortable, small wheeled bicycles". It also mentions "stiff, open frame" and "improved comfort and road holding". Nowhere is the word "performance" used. This is a huge aspect of the bikes to neglect. The Moulton bicycle holds a world speed record for a bicycle in the conventional riding position - they should be shouting it from the rooftops!
