I would like to have a Moulton. But getting people to ship them to Denmark is a problem. I must have the face of a scammer.

I fell off a Moulton whilst riding across a building site when I was 12 or 13 and broke my arm .

It was my paper round bike

That 64 is weird...I didn't think the brazed-on rear rack struts came until late 1965.

Are they BoA or Kirkby-built?

Correction…it is a 65…Kirby built I believe.

They both look to have been refurbed, so you shouldn't have to cope with the legendary* Kirkby build quality.

*as in Gothic horror

The pivot bolt on the red bike was completely seized so it was destroyed on removal. Ordered a new one. The front suspension came apart fine so no other issues. Sent the frame out for powder coating.

Did you have to hacksaw the sleeve? I've only resorted to that once. The bronze bushes can be "interesting" to remove.

No..i was able to punch it out after it snapped. The bushings are plastic on this one.

Parts back from powdercoating.

Got this bike pretty much finished. It passed the test ride too.

Picked up this 66 Moulton a couple days ago. It’s a duomatic and is seperable too. The original tool came with it. It’s original paint and should clean up nicely.
