Thanks!
The suspension actually works really well. It definitely improves the ride and goes some way to compensate for the stiffness of the small wheels. The frame is incredibly stiff and there is very little flex, however the suspension can make things a bit bouncy if you get out of the saddle.
I suppose if you wanted to be scientific about it you could replace the rubber springs in each side with a slightly harder formulation but I have no idea where you would find such a thing. Moulton don't make parts for 50 year old bikes, and it's not exactly the kind of thing you could fabricate yourself.
