a question for you - please answer

[alien8]

OK please bear with me, even if you don't _really_ like bikes!
Cycling is booming atm, and bike dealers are already selling 2010 models in 2009.

It would certainly solve the "no bikes on THIS train!" problem for people who want to commute using public transport in tandem with cycling.

As to me...

I don't like small wheels...and living in Brighton I have no need for it to fold away as I cycle from A to B without the need for public transport.

I would try it though out of curiosity.

I don't like the orange...but if it came out in black, it might increase its popularity.

How fast can it go?

The Seperation is pretty good, but it's not a folder, if you want to be sure of train stuff, get a brompton. Otherwise it splits where the vertical joins are on the frame to the right of my left knee (as you look at the picture). I know people that put each side into a bag and put one on each shoulder and walk through the eurostar checkin

Looks good to me. I'd like to give one of those a whirl.

I doubt if I'd buy one, though, because I've got all the bikes I can eat at the moment - A basic Scott ATB for everyday journeys, plus two old Raleighs and a 1977 Peugeot racing bike in the shed. (I think everyone has an old Raleigh in the shed).

By the way, I took my Land Rover to this place the other day, for the grumpy old proprietor to moan about it skilled technicians to carry out some fine adjustments to it. They asked me if I wanted a courtesy car, and while I was tempted to say 'Yes, if I can have the armoured car on your website,' in fact I brought my bike instead and rode it via the most obscure little lanes I could find on the map to a convenient railway station. A very civilized way to get home - but I never realised how many hills there are in Surrey!

sidenote: your old 1977 bike is worth more than you think, people love to convert those to FG/SS :)

Yes Surrey indeed has hills :) post rehab I shall be living there when on a bike, I will be training for some rather pointy things later in 2011. gulp.

I will add you to the list of 'want to try' as you can get it on 'cycle to work' technically it's a lot cheaper but we all know what the recession did so I'll shut up about that :) (having been recession'd myself)

1. Yes, I like it
2. Yes, I'd like to try it
3. No, I'd prefer a more gothic BLACK
4. Yes - they make *excellent* pork pies.

Hi, Lizzie sent me.

I cycle to work (about 2 miles each way) 4 days a week on a not especially flash trad town bike.
- I'm interested in the belt drive, and I like that it's UK made and steel. In terms of looks, I'm not keen on small wheels and the design is a bit Mechano (which shouldn't be a bad thing, but in this case doesn't appeal to me)
- would you like to try it? Out of curiosity for the belt drive and gearing thing.
- do you like the orange colour? Orange is the colour of Choppers. Again, not a bad thing, but not my thing.
- had you heard of Moulton before? They make posh soap don't they?

Hi
- the frame is a 'spaceframe' - very strong and stiff in the right places :) can carry large loads if you want.
- it's available in black as well :)
and http://www.moultonbicycles.co.uk/heritage.html ref the Soap bar :)

many thanks for your feedback :)

- I'm not sure. Now I come to think about it, I thrashed a Moulton Mini to death circa 30 years ago. However, watching Duffers belt about on a spaceframe thingy with the drops was odd.

- I guess it would be interesting to see if my prejudices were borne out when actually riding the thing.

- I'd prefer black or some other 'i'm boring and not worth thieving' colour.

- See above. He's got a nice house, too.

(You do know who my employers are, don't you...)

[alien8]

- TSR30 for your sportive/audax things :)
- yup, so far 'Black' seems to have been the preferred alternative to Orange. Good choice :)
- yes. very.
(yes. I do. :-) )
