,what's your story on it?
The speedsix was the bike I always wanted as a youth , so being interested in Moultons and commuting on a Mk3 I used the insurance money from the theft of a mountain bike to buy one.
The first thing I did was to write an ad for the sales list of the Moulton Bicycle Club wanted section, but imagine my surprise when the guy who still runs the list phoned me at his own expense with news of one for sale!
The speedsix was on the south coast and the young man who had it had saved it from some mates who intended to wreck it off road!
The bike was complete and totally original even down to the old DUNLOP high pressure tyres and special saddle.
The bike was a bargain and a quarter of what I had budgetted for the rare machine...this was a decade ago and before ebay and the jump in prices.
My next special bike was the S safari which is like a luxury equipped speedsix and then chromed!!
I recommend the Moulton Bicycle club to anyone interested in Moultons of all ages and they take PAYPAL now so joining should be easy...k
