Here's a look at a new Moulton SST build that I just finished up from a frameset . This is a 20 speed with 56/39 11/28 gearing set up up as a quick flatbar bike with SRAM trigger shifters and SRAM Force derailleurs.. the front derailleur employs YAW technology which angles the cage on shifts allowing for more chain room when at extreme angles.. basically quiet when severe crosschaining takes place..

The SST frame differs a little from the TSR series in that it has stainless steel dropouts front and rear instead of painted chromoly.. also uses true 130mm road spacing with typical road dropouts as opposed to 132mm TSR spacing (a compromise spacing which can accommodate road or mountain hubs and has angled dropouts which can allow the rear wheel to be moved fore and aft a few millimeters so that hub gears can be used more easily). The SST has a progressive front suspension spring standard as well as a true 31.6 mm seatpost as opposed to the 31.8 of the TSR.. the front derailleur mount is also adjustable so that the angle can be fine tuned for the application .. the frame is also a bit lighter.. this fully built up SST is roughly 10.3kg .. a similarly built TSR would be closer to 11.5kg .. went for a 20 mile shake down ride yesterday and am very pleased with it..
