1965 Moulton 4 speed

[Drzdave58]

Recently acquired this 1965 Moulton 4 speed that was in need of some TLC. Powder coated cream, new flat bars and stem, new tires, new brake pads and cables, hand stitched leather grips. All the chrome parts cleaned up beautifully. Rides nice!

Nice bike most likely being a 1965 it was sold by a Huffy retailer. Huffy only sold them in 1965. Here are before and afters of mine. Roger

Beautiful bike! I powder coated a bike frame one time and the name of the color was "vanilla ice cream" that looked just like that!

It’s a delicious colour for sure!

Just acquired this one this morning. Lots of work needed. But it is the first Moulton I have ever touched and could not pass it up. Quite the project.

Good score! The Bones look good and it’s got potential. Make sure you check underneath the rear forks for fatigue cracks. Are you going to do a complete disassembly? Any special plans for it?
