While much of the cycling world continues to build 1880s Starleys in carbon fiber, Dr. Alex Moulton has introduced seven major new model designs since the AM bike's as-yet unbroken world speed record in 1986. The 87 year old Moulton was recently spotted out on a ride, personally testing a new experimental front suspension.

Dare I say "becoming like Moulton" would be a complement to the vast majority of the cycling industry?
