Completed painting, rebuilt front and rear suspension, including fabricating a new aluminium suspension contact plate from an old piece of an italian boiler given to me by the excellent chaps at Clever Mike.
Front suspension on a moulton is a thing of beauty - very simple clever design, and given the age of the bike was in excellent condition, both springs and rubber have plenty of life in them.
The halfords rattlecan paint job looks pretty good, and a quick decal from ebay and it's almost good as new.
Debating what to do about mudguards. I have the original but they're rusted and the chrome has gone. I could either get them re chromed, or take them to Armourtex and have them powdercoated (i think white, to match the racks)
Also - front wheel. I have the original SA dynohub, which I serviced and spins well, but it weighs a lot (1.5kg), and is a 50 year old dynamo, so not the best... Should I rebuild with that, or buy a new plain hub?
Anyway, onwards...
