its a Moulton but not one I've seen before...?

repainted and what looks like a bolt & braces repair - or is it original?

 

[alanf]

yes its a repair! its not a true moulton! its made by Raleigh after they bought the moulton brand, they made them without front suspension against advice and the frames cracked!

I think it deserves the retrobike treatment....

I was given a free Moulton in the early eighties. Had a single front brake and a Torpedo(?) rear hub, half turn back change between hi/lo gear and full turn to brake.

I was working in Maidenhead at the time and had to travel daily to our bank. This was a 15-minute walk but 3 minutes on the bike.

Great bike that eventually had to be scrapped when everything rusted.

Either a Moulton Mini or a Minx. 1969 to early 70's from memory

The bolt on plates were actually made by Raleigh as an "upgrade" to fix the cracking problem.

You can just squezze a 16" rear wheel in should you want to.................
