So my 16 year old APB frame broke the other day



It seems to be similar to this thread https://www.bikeforums.net/folding-bi...ulton-apb.html

Anyhow, I'll see what my frame builder says about fixing it, but it may be time for a custom built TSR

Sleeve inside and TIG the left break . Tig the Right crack , leave the bead on the outside surface.. repaint.

Yep got mine repaired at Greenspeed, better than new. Can't even spot the repair, perfect job.

How much did it cost Jur ?

It was too long ago to remember, sorry. My best guess is it was between $150 and $100 which included the paint job. If it is important I could have a look to see if I have the invoice with all my bike paperwork.

fastbike

No, it's not important. Just checking out options for repair and/or replacement.

my first thought would be to contact moulton and find out what they can do for you.

Join "the moulton bicycle" group on facebook, all the top guys in the know on there including the guy who builds them, its a mecca for moulton info!

Thanks for that, I'll take a look.

Not a lot - GBP300 for a new rear triangle unit
Still, mustn't grumble as the bike has done a few years of service as my everyday goto bike.

Well that price is cheaper than buying a new bike.

In an ideal world a new Moulton and replaced rear triangle Moulton for back up would be nice.

Good luck with your decision.

Got the repaired part back from frame builder.

Fixed

• the original break
• right side dropout and reinforced the frame
• Added a disk brake mount
