New Moulton Mk4 in the Moulton Museum

At the Moulton Bicycle Club weekend in Bradford on Avon in September, a newly built Moulton Mark 4 was shown, which is now in the Moulton Museum.

The Mark 4 was an evolution of the Mark 3 which had been produced by Raleigh from 1970 to 1974. The Mark 4 nearly went into production, before Raleigh pulled the plug on the Moulton line altogether.

There were previously only 3 known examples of the Mark 4 in existence, and each has a different spec. This new Mark 4 was built by Arthur Smith, using a frameset found at Bradford on Avon. This new Mark 4 also has a unique spec, but does boast authentic components from the relevant era.

Also featured in the pictures is another of the Mark 4 models in purple.

The Mark 4 was similar to the Mark 3, with additional features such as a stowaway joint for separability, and a swan neck stem.
