just not fully automated..

Are you saying the bike is not hand built becouse they use jigs? Would you buy a handbuilt bike (or any bike) that was made without using a jig? I would not. I have all the corkscrews I need.

Steel, as a one off, is able to be built with a relatively simple set of production fixtures .

Main triangle, of regular DF bikes it's how carefully you do the Miters .

spent a couple days as the guest of a respected hand builder in Nottingham, on a Bike tour.
he did a lot of his work with wood blocks in the bench vise to hold the tubes
and half round hand files, to cut the miters..

Interesting colour combo.

Definitely a unique color combo. Perhaps the two bikes are from a rental fleet and hence the unique color combo?

Very nice! Stunning, actually!

What model Moulton is that?

Do you ride it or is it eye candy?

Not only that it is not mine, I never seen one in person. I have a measly TSR. Here is a more aerodynamic version
