I've mentioned on the Dahon Forum that I bought a new Moulton 4-speed in the summer of 1964 (distributed by Huffy through Montgomery Ward). It was my primary bike until late 2004. I couldn't adjust it to being upright enough so that I could ride it any distance with the back, neck and shoulder issues that I had at that time. And I did not want to pig it up. By chance, I test rode a Giant Revive and did not hurt. So I bought the Revive (48 pounds of comfort) and sold the Moulton to a guy in Arizona who knew what it was. When my physical issues subsided four years later, I started looking for something lighter and more nimble than the Revive. I bought a used 2004 Dahon Speed P8 because: (1) it had small wheels, (2) it looked similar to the Moulton, and (3) Thor and some others recommended the Speed P8 model as a good choice for someone who wasn't sure which model to get.

I spent some time at the Moulton booth at InterBike lusting after the Moulton 60. Now it looks like that if I suddenly get a bunch of money I can just order one from ThorUSA.
