Thanks to http://ameblo.jp/am-14s and blog.lemonedweb.co.jp for these pictures from the recent Alex Moulton Bicycles Exhibition in Japan
.
I recently completed a cycle camping tour in the Cevennes in France. The tour took 6 days and covered about 420km.
There were three of us in the group - one large wheeler, one Moulton TSR and my own Moulton APB.
We wild camped 4 nights, used a campsite 1 night, and stayed in a "Hutte" 1 night.

To celebrate Dr. Alex Moulton's 90th birthday and his great work on bicycles, Japan's Moulton bicycle enthusiasts and the importer Dynavector are going to hold an exhibition specialized for Moulton bicycles.
There will be over 50 Moultons from the very early models, rarities such as a Moulton Marathon and examples from the S-range, and the latest models including a SUPER SPEED, as well as many specially built Moultons.
A very rare occasion to see the whole history of the development of Moulton bicycles.

City cycling just got a whole lot easier and smoother with the new Moulton TSR-2. As clean in lines as a fixie, the TSR-2 has a surprise in store- the new Sturmey Archer S2C 'kick-shift' hub. This two-speed hub, shown for the first time to the public at the London Cycle show, offers an overdrive gear in addition to direct drive. There are no control cables- shifting is achieved by a light back-pedalling action. Further back-pedalling activates the integral coaster brake.
To further reduce maintenance and adjustment requirements, the TSR-2 is equipped with a belt-drive transmission. Unlike chains, the belt is clean and does not scratch, so no adjustment is required to take up slack. Efficiency is as high as a chain in good condition, and a belt is always in good condition! With no gear cable, rear brake cable, or chain to adjust, there is little that the everyday cyclist has to do to keep his TSR-2 running sweetly.
The TSR-2 will be available from Spring 2010.
TOUR SR and TSR9 SE on show at BOA 21st Sept 2009
Over September 12th-13th, Moultoneers from across Britain, Europe and the world gathered in Bradford on Avon for the annual Moulton Bicycle Club weekend. In the picturesque surroundings of The Hall, the Moultoneers enjoyed bright September sunshine and a procession of bicycles old and new including some lovingly-restored examples of Moulton history which were discussed by a panel headed by Dr. Alex Moulton.
Amongst the many interesting bicycles, Moultoneers were able to view the new TOUR SR and Special Edition TSR-9 Moultons, on display for the first time. The TOUR SR shares a similar specification to the TSR-30, with additional comfort provided by the Brooks Swift titanium leather saddle, Brooks leather handlebar tape and mudguards fitted as standard. There's also a light tubular stainless steel water bottle cage.
The Special Edition TSR-9 is based on a model produced this year for Moulton's Japanese distributor, Dynavector Systems. It features chrome plated front and rear forks, Brooks leather saddle and handlebar grips, and a quill-type handlebar stem from Nitto.
