Just bought a MOULTON F-frame 1965!

Hey Guys! Im so happy! i just bought a 1965 Moulton!



Ive been reading a lot, and moultons seem to be pefect for my commute, the new ones make me salivate, but the price is simply out of my range.

i think it will cost around 400 shipped (won the ebay, dont know the shipping cost), and the seller didnt really tell me a lot about the bike, he stated teh bike was in good shape, and that it worked correctly...i guess thats enough, but upon reading a bit more, i discovered that between 62 and 67 many moultons were produced at a car factory (MINI) and their assembly line wasnt the best, mostly because the dindt greese components correctly, creating a problem for us 50 years later...

i guess this can be addressed with patience.....i would love to discuss vintage moultons a bit more, because ive found little forum discussions.

cheers,

P.S. its funny how this nonfolding bike is addresed as a folder, hehe i guess the only reason being this is the mother of folding bikes.
