As some may know I own a rare Moulton Bridgestone Custom Sport. (This is the none separable sports version) I bought this from Avon Valley in August 2009. I rode it a few times and covered no more than 50 odd miles in total before crashing a motorbike and busting my collar bone and ribs quite badly... so August 2009 was the last time I actually rode this Moulton and it has been stored in an upstairs room ever since. I have the Brompton and I'm happy with this as my day-to-day commuter.

My focus has changed and I'd be more interested in a folding mountain for occasional rides along trails (disused railway lines etc.) rather than a racing road bike.

It is a shame to see it stood there doing nothing so I guess I should give someone else a chance to own it..... really a very nice bike to ride, full suspension, drop bars, nice components...... and of course it draws the attention of other cyclists.






I added a lightweight bottle cage and a black Brooks Swift saddle after these photos were taken. The colour of the bike looks black but it is actually a unique Richard Greasby purple.

I'm having the same issue with a straight bar schwinn hornet I have. I love it but I never ride it. I've decided to let it go since I don't see myself putting it to use anytime soon.

I say sell it. If you're not using it, let someone else take advantage of it.

It's a beautiful bike, I'm sure you'll find a good home for it.



Ha ha. I was just reminiscing - the last time a BF poster came on and said he wasn't getting much out of his Moulton, it resulted in quite an adventure for me -

Yes, I do recall...... I wanted that TSR and you beat me to it

SesameCrunch

Yeah, you would have gotten there faster too!

What a great adventure that was.

Indeed! It inspired at least one other adventure that had a happy, Moulton-ful ending.

Sell it and get that folding mountain bike https://www.nycewheels.com/dahon-fold....html#pictures

I think I asked for that

Now if I'd said I was thinking about a Bike Friday, Airnimal Rhino or a Montague / Swissbike.... but not a Dahon, then I'd be accused of picking on Dahons yet again

I looked into those whilst I was trying to deciding on buying my TSR2 or not.

Lovely looking bike. I doubt my old bones could cope with the drop handle bars though

For small wheeled bikes, suspended front and rear, Moultons really do have it sorted in terms of comfort.

Just an update....

The bike sold on e-bay last Monday with Buy It Now... (£900) and the new owner took delivery last Thursday (according to the TNT tracking #)... I hope he is happy with it because he has not contacted me to say either way

SesameCrunch

Congrats on the sale. I hope you don't miss it too much. I always regret parting with my bikes. I just hate to see them go

PDR

Guy has left me good ebay feedback and sounds happy with the bike

I probably will miss it but I didn't get to ride it much..... I know I'd badly miss my Brompton if anything happend to it....
