2 locks?
Or 1 lock through both halves of the spaceframe, and hope no-one nicks the wheels? (This is bucolic Cheshire...).

QR seatpost and only one Fag mini through the middle. ball bearing glued in the stem. my wheels have track nuts on solid axles. I would use a QR front wheel and always take it with me.

Fixed that for me.

My Cycle2Work TSR2 turned up last night - rescued it before Halfords got their mitts on it, and built it up in half-an-hour. That kick-shift/coaster-brake combo takes some getting used to - lots of five-foot skids when trying to shift at the moment :)

Starting to think about building up a fixed-wheel for it - any recommendations for a (preferably) double fixed hub which will slot in where the Sturmey S2C slips out?

my recommendation is to ride the Moulton as much as possible first before deciding upon it.
technically a fixed wheel wouldn't really work that well on the Moulton, it was hard climbing up hill with the lack of rotational weight, but since you're getting a double fixed hubs, you can have one side freewheel if you find the fixed to be a bit of a burden.

Its really just to do some flat 100k audaxes on to pick up FWC points. 99% of the time I intend to be duomatic.

Had it a week and replaced just about everything ahead of the headtube!

First ride on my newly fixed TSR2 (TSR1?) - a 150k audax. Maybe a bit slower than my usual Langster - but I haven't sorted out the gearing (just bunged on a 13t cog to give 63" rather usual 70"-ish - but its a good gear to have with 90-miles behind you...). All felt good - certainly didn't feel a lack of flywheel effect.

Any chance of an update Northern Graeme?

A blast from the past! Haven't been here for years...
Did a few 200k audaxes on it, perfecting the spec - two rear sprockets (69 and 63"), day rack and bag, moving the brake around (from original position to bar end), stiffer fork spring, narrower higher-pressure tyres, etc. Then finally did a 300k audax, which rather finished me off - never did another after that, and the Moulton was shoved, unwashed, under the stairs. Bought one of those new-fangled road bikes with gears and spent a year on that. Then, a few months ago, I moved office to easy cycling distance from my house. Pulled the Moulton out and started using that, but the spec was all wrong - so everything got changed back to OEM spec - kick-shift and all. Seems Moulton got the spec right for commuting! Have added the lovely SKS mudguards, and am looking to see if I can retrofit belt drive.

Awesome that you've still got it and it's having a new lease of life. How do you find it for city riding/ commuting compared to your old langster?
