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.

Interbike 2009: New Moulton Model?

As in previous years, the Moulton stand at Interbike has featured in the blogosphere. This year, only one bike has featured, and it looks like a new or a hybrid model, perhaps a prototype.

Bike Rumor refers to it as

$14,500 Moulton Speed stainless steel 20″ bike

adding

As more people are riding bikes and forgoing their cars I guess we’ll see more of these ‘car priced’ bikes? What to do with all that extra money I’ll save by not driving a car…buy a bike priced like a car!

KOOWHO has some more detailed photos.

My interpretation of the limited information thus far, with the help of the Moulton Bicycle Yahoo Group:

It is a hybrid model, based on an AM Speed S (stainless, non-separable).
Reynolds 953 stainless steel tubing
20 inch/406 wheels
AM front forks, adapted for nominal 20 inch wheels.
New Series single diameter seat tube, unified rear triangle, and hydrolastic suspension.

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.

Lots more to come, and maybe some text too. Here's a few pics to whet the appetite. Includes the new TSR models, the museum's new MK4, a Vic Nicholson MK3 replica, and an unofficial folding mini...
