[MENTION=40306]cudak888[/MENTION] how did you find it? I hope you are going to do a separate build/restoration thread for that Moulton. I have been keeping an eye out for one in my budget, but have now given up. It seems that if people can look it up on Google they think it is worth big bucks. I went to an estate sale about 5 years ago where they had a one just like yours, but they had it priced a $1500 as is. Which wasn't particularly good.

Your Moulton looks intact and for the most part, just needing a good cleaning, regreasing and new cables.

Alex Moulton was clear thinking individual and his ideas on smaller wheels helped the Austin Mini become a success and then he applied this thinking to bicycles and allowed people who couldn't fit a full size bike in their apartment to own a bike and even take their Moulton by train to a more rural destination for a day's ride. They have also had their fair share of other uses including some human powered vehicle records. But most of all a practical bike for people that don't have a garage.
