1990 Alex Moulton Speed for sale

[[email protected]]

For those of you who are interested in Moulton bikes, I want to inform
you that I just listed a 1990 Alex Moulton Speed on eBay. It is in
excellent condition; it was very well maintained. It was only ridden
in sunny southern California and has been not been ridden since 1996.
It comes with a brand new set of tubes and tires. It was never in any
crashes or accidents and has a superior after-market powder-coat paint
job. Take a peek at

Can you even find replacement rims for those?

Easily, they're frequently used on tadpole trike 'bents too.


And before you ask, three makers of tyres too. I'm using Schwalbe
Stelvios on my 17"-wheeled Moulton now.

How do you like them? I've used the Bridgestones and Continentals
(the Continentals used the original mold pattern, I believe). The
Bridgestones are a bit harder to mount. Replacing a rim was not a
problem.

Mounted using hands only, but so did Wolbers. Contis and Bridgestones
took a touch of levering (I've had this AM for 22 years, and have got
through a lot of tyres).

They haven't been fitted long enough to get an idea about puncture
vulnerability, which has always been a major problem with everything
I've tried previously. However Schwalbes on another bike have been
excellent for that, which is why I was keen to switch the AM7 Moulton
to them.
