From The Guardian...
There was little sign of wallet tightening, particularly on the stand belonging to Moulton, the British manufacturer of full-suspension, small-wheeled bicycles. Pride of place was the £14,500 New Series Double Pylon, a shiny space-aged number with a silver-brazed frame made from stainless steel. Despite not yet being in production, the bike has already attracted a waiting list of 13 months, with demand particularly high in Japan. Shaun Moulton, great nephew of Alex Moulton, the brand's inventor, was on hand to explain its merits. It is very light yet very strong, and the lack of paintwork means it is completely scratch-proof, apparently.
Double Pylon is a mistake I guess?
Price is sadly not a mistake- I was at the Cycle Show today, picked up the 2010 price list. A guy on Yet Another Cycling Forum talked to Shaun Moulton about it- the new price will include a case, and all the painted parts will now be in stainless steel. If you get your name on the waiting list with a deposit before December 31, you can still get one at the old price….
When you start asking such ridiculous prices for a friggin’ bike don’t you think that the Chinese will jump on making copies in a New York second? What are your workers being paid an hour anyway?
