Because smaller wheel does not do loose gravel as well as bigger wheel.
I kept wheelspinning on a muddy ford, whether the other went through it effortlessly on their 700c 25c bicycle.
The moulton is perfect for fast road tour, but that's about it.
Tour on a Thorn or Tour on a Moulton - which is going to be more interesting?
Given a choice of the two I'd pick the Moulton.

Shame, if it was a different bike entirely and I had money to burn I'd have snapped this up...

Oh Eddy!
Why do you keep buying unsuitable bicycles that you then sell. Do you not realise just how much more money you would have if you stuck to riding what you have got?Do you still think the expense and hassle of fitting the Chris King headset was either necessary or worth it for basically one journey?
Still it's a nice bike. You appear to have bent the rear rack though.
