After seeing several long and incorrect threads on suspension, I must note that Moulton's AM-ATB was
the FIRST dual-suspension, modern mountain bike, and while it never dominated the market, its design
had a considerable impact.
Even today, Moultons are far better suited for most types of riding, including tracks and trails --
than say, knobby-tired mountain bikes are laboring along on paved streets. While the Moulton's
development has been slow, incremental and scientifically measured, the mountain bike world has been
preoccupied with almost hysterical re-engineering, changing materials and geometries to fit a
marketing plan, not any real drive towards a better bike.
To find out more about just how big the small-wheel and folding world is, check out A to B on the
web, and also visit our site, www.trophybikes.com --we're sponsoring the ROUND*UP USA, a small-wheel
and folder bike fest in Philadelphia USA, May 16-18....
