Could I have a mild form of folderitis? I gave away my first folder so maybe not!

It's a pretty simple leading link arrangement.. the front stirrup links to the fork with 4 side plates and 8 friction washers sandwiched between the plates.. the acorn nuts tighten to increase or reduce friction (damping) .. the top of the stirrup uses a spring over a shaft which slides within the fork and a threaded knurled knob to adjust static ride height .. the spring can be changed for a stiffer overall ride if desired.. it' a lightweight, smooth operating design that has been in use on the spaceframe moultons for over 30 years.

Thanks Bruce. Do you have any detailed pics of the front from another angle? Thanks.

I hope to get a b&m e-werk at some stage to for longer rides to power my phone on gps with the excellent sportstracker on longer rides.

sweet ride....
