(Do apologise for not mentioning this earlier).
Including rear rack, matching Chris King headset, Salsa handlebar and Brooks saddle.
Again, funding South America, I brought the Moulton on a whim 3 months ago, and it paid greatly on the London-Cumbria fast tour, even under heavy weight, it wasn't hard to keep the speed up and was surprised at how stable the bicycle is when I encounter a crosswind and not felt it at all.
I can tell you this though, the Moulton was the most comfortable bicycle I've ever ridden and I understood why people like to tour on it, descending on it was the greatest feeling ever, especially when the suspension smooth out the vibration so well, I don't have to hold onto the handlebar with all my might while doing 50mph, and it have the best handling of all the bicycle I've ridden insofar.
it got a full Campagnolo Centaur groupset (carbon) apart from the Stronglight external crankset which was to my surprise, perfectly fine, the gear range is perfect for all kind of riding, 11-25 with a 58-48-39 crankset (to compensate for the small wheel), I changed the 56t for a 58t as I kept running out of gear when descending.
Forget to add one more thing - it's separable, can be taken on the plane with two small bag and still be under 20kg (including 8kg worth of clothing).
I'm pretty sad to see it go, but as South America approached, I needed to get everything organised, especially the plane ticket, the freight to send the touring bicycle over, the repair work on the bicycle (!!!), the visa, the Spanish lesson, etc.
£1050 ONO, very good price for a nearly new bicycle with extra bits and bob, no pedals though.
