The Moulton Bicycle Company have launched their new website at www.moultonbicycles.co.uk.
It's a very sleek, modern design, which is easy to navigate, and has lots of pretty pictures, including new photography of the bicycle range, and accessories.
The range shows the entire range of bicycles previously under the separate Alex Moulton and Pashley ranges. It also features the AM-GT and AM-Speed "classics". The website states that "these iconic bicycles feature the original Alex Moulton designs, unchanged from their first conception".
Also shown is the Limited Edition Moulton 50 as shown below.

Sturmey Archer S3X – Hub Specs and Shifters
From the Sunrace Sturmey Archer site...
Thank you everyone for your comments. The response to the new S3X has been overwhelming and we are really looking forward to finishing up and getting this hub into your hands.
The name will not be changing. I appreciate everyone's thoughts on naming it after Sheldon, it just is not possible.
Some of the most asked questions should be answered with the below pictures. Hub will be 120mm OLD. Two shifters, top mount thumb and bar end. Cog interface is a standard Shimano spline.
The post shows details of a bar-mounted thumb shifter...
... and a bar-end shifter...
A visit to Bradford-on-Avon
Industrial Designer Ben Wilson recently visited Alex Moulton at Bradford-on-Avon and afterwards described it to me thus.
...one of the most fantastic days that I have had for a long time. Dr Alex Moulton is one of the kindest and interesting men I have ever met...
Of the pictures that Ben posted to Flickr, the following are a few that I liked in particular.
This is an interesting panoramic mural depicting the Hall and the Moulton family

Moulton HPV racing
A few pictures of Andy Forey racing a modified Series 1 at the HPV races in Hillingdon.
The bike has a 406 (20 inch) rear wheel with Continental Grand Prix tyre and original 4 speed hub, with a shortened steerer tube to allow the bars to get lower, and a polystyrene aerodynamic moulding.
Mike Burrows has written that aerodynamics is the most important factor in terms of bike speed. It seems to have worked out well for Andy... he finished second in the "all bikes" race. Not bad for a forty year old shopping bike!
Clarks Shoes Poster
As I bought my daughter her first pair of shoes yesterday, I struggled to contain myself... when I saw a Moulton on the wall. Or at least a picture of a young boy pushing an old Moulton along a beach. Below are two pictures of the poster... the first taken on a mobile phone.
The second picture is from the Clark's website
