I have finished cleaning and assembling the bike. New tubes and tires, new grips, saddle, new cable housing. Waiting for new pedals, bar end plugs and Moulton transfers to arrive. Removed the mud guards for now. Had its maiden voyage yesterday and it rode nicely.

How is the shifting?

How is the shifting?

I got it dialed in good. So far I’m happy. I have a Sturmey Archer 5 speed on my other Moulton which is a little more finicky.

Beautiful job! Love the radial spoked front wheel.

Yes...I thought the radial spokes were kinda cool too.

I had the cranks and chainwheel polished, what a difference.

New MKS pedals came in today so this bike is a done deal for now. May change the saddle to a brooks tho.

I’ve made some recent changes to these 2 Moultons

 

[The Spokemaster]

Radial spoking on a 36 hole hub can increase the likelihood of hub flange failure

Same goes for 1-cross on 36 hole
