My very own Moulton TSR

Originally a TSR 9, now is TSR20! 









Moulton looking at our laundry
Yes, I  finally succumbed to the Moulton magic....thanks to a ride on Paul's Moulton recently at the HP Alumni Charity for Japan ride. His bike changed my perception of Moulton. Thanks Paul for letting me try his favorite steel horse... I remember he said before I tried his bike... "it is fast but strangely comfortable" => that's a Moulton!

old school handle bar by Soma
Specially built for my relaxed kind of riding by the folks from My Bike Shop (Tan, Kian Lin and Jai- thank you very very much!).  Featuring on control area - a Soma sparrow old school handle bar, with flatbar shimano shifters. For the cranks and derailuer, they are Shimano famed Ultegra range which makes the shifting so buttery smooth and shiokkkk.  It just rides like a magic carpet(for me)... but still need to pedal and the slopes are still tough haha :)  This is not a rational bicycle and I will not even try to justify it's existence... the feeling is just very unique ride.  I will stop blabbering..... and here are some photos of my new handsome burgundy friend.

Oh, I forgot... I like to know what would be a good name for him? I guess I am getting mad...
