This practical and informative book is now probably the most definitive work for the potential buyer, new owner, keen restorer or the die-hard enthusiast.
If you are thinking of buying a ‘classic’ Moulton in an ‘original’ or ‘unrestored’ condition, this book will confirm all the parts that were originally fitted at the Bradford-on-Avon, Kirkby or Nottingham factories. The new owner will then be able to ascertain the extent to which their Moulton has remained in an unmodified condition. For the keen restorer, this book will prove to be invaluable by detailing exactly the type of components that should, or should not, be fitted if it is decided to return the bike back to its original factory specification. The die-hard enthusiast will be able to compare the different specifications between the models and learn some of the fascinating evolution story of the F frame from 1962 through to 1974.

A ‘Parts to Model’ chart has been introduced to show exactly what parts were, or should be, fitted to what models. The potential buyer or new owner will be able to quickly verify the authenticity of their Moulton. To assist with this, a pictorial guide of the parts fitted to models has been created to aid recognition of nearly all the various components. If you don’t know your Williams C34 from your AB77 chainwheel or your GB 126s from your Balilla Corsa 62 brake levers, this will give you the confidence to identify the items correctly.
Read an account of how Alex Moulton’s new bicycle design was born in a fascinating reprint of an original 1964 article with pictures of some of the early development machines. Then, compare the evolution of the design on the following pages showing pictures of various pre-production bikes.
See how the ‘classic’ Moulton was produced in the Kirkby, Liverpool factory in the 1960’s. There are 11 black and white photographs to illustrate frame assembly, painting, component assembly, wheel building, final assembly and the despatch areas.
