It is late 2012 and I am selling this bicycle. I wish I could ride it more often but it causes pain in my wrists. In 1990 a car accident messed up my neck. About four years ago it began affecting not just my neck but my wrists. The neck is pinching the nerves that go into my arms. I haven't ridden this bicycle more than three-hundred miles.
Look at the places where I point. They are showing scratches and one spot shows where the end of the front brake cable sleeve is broken. It has no affect on the brake operation. The cable came too short from the factory. When I went to adjust it the tension caused the threads to break off of the sleeve.
This is not a folding bicycle. It was designed to be compact. that is why the mustache handlebars come off with just a single hex wrench and the pedals are quick release. It is designed to be put against a wall in a skinny space. There is a slot key in the handlebar stem that automatically aligns them, so they don't need to be adjusted when being put on.
Sold to a lucky guy who also bought my Thudbuster as part of the deal. He now has a really smooth riding quick accelerating Smooth Hound at a fraction of the price of a Moulton.
