Everyone restores - so hotrod it!
(For my money far too many Moulton's go to Japan to become museum pieces, or kept stock because of strange provincial british purism.

They aren't rare to the point it's 'sacrelege' to modify them, so I say go mad and make it modern, light and FAST!

Skinny fast wheels:
2x Velocity Aeroheat 349x25mm rims;
2x Pr1mo Champ racing wheelchair tyres;

Frame:
Bathe it in acid to lose a little weight
Clean up welds/brazing, polish then get clear-coated.

Drive:
Get a 60+ tooth chainwheel and Campag record gruppo.

Accessories:
Polished Nitto track *everything*.
