Mines a 1964 Moulton Deluxe im, still cristening it 70 miles on the odo,
Upgrading the parts for alloy upgrades, hunting a big TA chainset is
frightening (cost) but 52/64 twin would be nice!, the 4 speed FW SA hub on
the back has a great range and those HP 349 tires are so free rolling it
practicly moves itself.
Ive been truly amazed at the acceleration you can get from these small
wheels if shod and grared adequatly .......Throw in the Front and rear
suspention and you start to realise just how many years Mr moulton was ahead
of his time! ... its my baby
Have abandoned all riding of my FS MTB Emmele on anything but true dirty and
knarly rides around the local woods and trails.
