MMMmmmm Moultons.
Was down at Two n Fro ( http://www.twonfro.com/ ) yesterday and got into a conversation about the virtues of minivelo bikes. I'm still of the opinion that they're dead cool for the urban jungle and have some great virtues.
Karta @ Two n Fro has his own minivelo style bikes in the works, and of course the polo friendly Sillgey Piccolo is out there:
But seeing that the Moultons are such design classics and have set some speed records, they still have my attention.
Besides... separable frames do it for me:
Remove the pin in the middle, and undo a lock nut... done.
It should be possible to convert one of these to fixed too. The rear triangle has very little travel and is connected to the BB in a dead straight line which I think should keep the chain tension pretty even.
I want one.
