[Drzdave58]

Just got this 65 Moulton rebuilt. Powdercoated cream, new flat bars and stem, new tires, cables and brake pads hand stitched leather grips

The only thing I like is the saddle & chainring ... 🙂

You can now scare the crap out of yourself trying to ride it in style. I had a go on one a mates Sister owned in about 1975, we quickly found our why it was stuck in the shed.
On the upside it made Choppers feel easy to ride and very stable.

Looks good enough to hang on a wall, which I hope is not it's destiny! Decent thing would be to ride it on a regular basis and enjoy

You’ve done a lovely job, these iconic pieces of engineering need to be preserved.

You've done a nice job.
Oddly enough I liked the look of it as it was. I'd be frightened to use / leave it anywhere now.

One of the nicest bikes i've seen in a long time off to show my dad your pictures, that'll put a smile on an 88yr olds face (former Minx owner).

A credit to you

I'm struggling to understand how the back wheel is supported without any seat stays, relying on what appears to be just a single bolted joint at the chain stay/ main frame connection?

What am I missing?

The rubber suspension 'donut' just behind the pivot bolt.

Its not scary to ride however I think I will avoid going down steep hills at high speeds. Great for short leisurely rides around town.

thank You..and no..I never leave any of my bikes unattended. It’s intended for short rides around the city. A conversation piece for sure.

When you really look and study the frames on these bikes, they are a thing of beauty, a wonderful piece of engineering for the time.
