Bicycle Repair Man !!!
I rode a Moulton once. It was truly remarkable. The geometry and suspension are painstakingly engineered to give the good of small wheels plus the good of large wheels. If it were sane to ride with my eyes closed, I would have been fooled into believing it was a large wheel bike. The suspension is brilliant. It was a model with an FW (4-speed) hub. I don't remember the rest. BF member Chris in Miami let me try it.
It has a modern 7 speed IGH so does not need anything as big as the original Speed to get it tearing down the road.

I never tire of this thread. 1960s and 1970s were the golden age for road bikes.
I have added a(nother) 1960 Capo Sieger and a 1962 Carlton FrancoSuisse since I posted my 1959 and 1960 Capos several years ago.
Repainted Cap Sieger frame, serial number very close to that of my other Sieger, so who was I to say no to it?

I have three: a 1960 Olmo Gran Sport, a 1968 Paramount (I need to rebuild this bike), and a 1969 Robin Hood
