The Moulton Bicycle Company has a new website and it looks lovely.
Moulton bicycles have been manufactured for 50 years by several companies but recently Alex Moulton Bicycles in Bradford on Avon and the “Moulton part” of Pashley in Stratford upon Avon came together to form this new company, the Moulton Bicycle Company. Now the full range of space frame Moultons appear on this single website.
I think the Price Icon idea is rather good. According to the website:
“Moulton bicycles range in price from £900 to £10,000 depending on the model and specification. The price icon gives a relative scale for the price of each model in the range.”
I guess the prices vary from country to country, maybe even dealer to dealer, but it is good to know at a glance that the TSR 9 is cheaper than the New Series Double Pylon.
I really like the Heritage page. This gives a historical overview and key dates in the development of the Moulton Bicycle. This heritage illustrates that the Moulton bicycle has been designed as a full alternative to the classic diamond framed bicycle. Because the Moulton bicycle has small wheels often people mistake it for being a compromised folding bicycle design or something like that.
So, all in all, I feel the new website is a great success!
I have a MOULTON BICYCLE (older model). I’ve been told it’s worth money, though not in the best condition. Is there any websites or places where I can see what it might be worth? Thanks,
Hi John
Some older Moultons are worth a lot of money but very many are not.
In the sixties and early seventies Moultons were mass produced in very great numbers and those bicycles are usually not worth very much, although they were excellent bicycles.
I think a good place to discuss this would be the Moulton bicycle Yahoo group.
What is interesting from the Moulton Bicycle compared with other bicycles in general, may be in terms of appearance or suspensi better ?
Hi Deddy
It is a very big question. The Moulton bicycle is a first class alternative to the traditional diamond framed bicycle because imho it is more comfortable, has better handling, is more efficient, carries loads better and for many other reasons.
If you do some Internet searches for the Moulton bicycle you will see that there are many who are of a similar mind to myself.
