I don't know if a follow up test was ever done ... I also don't know if Jan is a masher or spinner.. generally the spinners are happier on Moultons than the mashers ..
From what I remember, Moulton fixed the bike for the owner but with the stipulation that it could not be tested again. I have always dreamed of owning a Moulton and this stipulation kind of put a damper on that dream.
