Update on Moulton Deluxe ‘stolen’ in Bristol on Saturday 20th October.
It turns out that Tim's bike wasn't stolen after all!! He got in touch with me to let me know the story.
He'd left it locked, but it had fallen over and the lock he'd used had come undone. A man noticed the bike in its un-locked state and took it into the pub near where Tim had left it. Tim hadn't been back to the pub until a few days ago and was re-united with his bike!
Moulton Deluxe 1965 16" wheels. Brookes leather handlebar tape and saddle, 4 gears Sturmey Archer, re-sprayed rear mudguard and central tube (almost identical colour to rest). Original Bradford on Avon frame (stamped serial number on seat tube begins with numbers (no ’K’ prefix). Slightly chipped rear reflector on rear mudguard.
