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

Hi, may i ask if this bike can be brought to public transport (after splitted)?
ReplyDeletethanks
hi Jun, I have not split the bike yet haha. Techinically, it can but will be very cumbersome. Moulton it not really made for fold and unfold. It is just seperable. For Public transport, get either a brompton or Dahon... it works better.
ReplyDeleteNice. I've a Moulton APB modified to triple crank. Recently I visited Alex Moulton's factory in Bradford on Avon n was offered a ride on d Double Pylon . Regret til now I didn't do it.

@pauline... oh goosh... how was the visit?
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly small factory. Felt more like someone's garage. Homely. Friendly. Any moulton clubs in Sg?
ReplyDeletePauline
