    Measuring correct stem size??

    Could be a way of doing it, although this must weaken the stem somewhat by reducing the material thickness that's there. The replacement stem would have to be fairly thick material to turn it down to 19mm.

    Measuring correct stem size??

    It was Alex Moulton whi originally designed the Moulton which was latterly made under license by Raleigh. The RSW was their answer to the Moulton design. I think the problem is mine being a Mini, everything is smaller than a standard Moulton. I will look him up though, really need to find a...

    UK newbie

    I know, straight to the tip it went. Probably someone has saved it.

    UK newbie

    Welcome to the forum, good to see another UK member. My mother in law had one of these for her foster kid and it ended up being thrown out for scrap a year or two back without me knowing. :(

    Measuring correct stem size??

    My Moulton isn't like the one you have pictured. The bar and stem is one-piece on mine. The bar cannot be seperated from the stem.

    Measuring correct stem size??

    I thought the stem was an old elastomer suspension stem form an MTB from days of old?

    Measuring correct stem size??

    I can't really figure out from the pic if it's a quill stem or an Ahead stem fitted to an adaptor. Also not sure why the big bracket on the head and down tube is there. Wondered if it's had some extreme surgery...

    Measuring correct stem size??

    I had managed to find a fixie style Moulton Mini on google images which runs a different bar and stem setup, but there is no build information on it anywhere

    Measuring correct stem size??

    My bike is a Moulton but it's a Mini, was 7/8 of size of a normal Moulton. I have measured the quill on the existing stem with a micrometer and it measures 19.5mm.

    Schwinn spoiler

    Forgive my ignorance, as I'm not too familiar with Schwinn Stingray's. What are we looking for in the pic, the big chain guard?

    Measuring correct stem size??

    Hey guys 'n' gals... My project Moulton had a really small one-piece handlebar & stem unit which I have removed and want to replace using an alternative size of stem & bars. My problem is I'm not sure what size or type of stem will fit. The bike has on old school threaded headset and threaded...

    Social Deviation finished

    This bike has to be one of my favourite builds I have seen on RRB so far. Amazing attention to detail, lot's of stuff to pick up on when you take a second or third look.

    Raleigh sprite 27

    She's come out really nice. Great blend of old & new with the LOUD fixie wheels !! Excellent work.

    Bare metal Colson "Ledd Sledd"

    That's a lovely looking bike you got there. Is it staying bare metal & are you going to seal it or let her oxidise?!

    The Start Of My New Bike

    Thanks Marek for resurrecting this old thread. I personally hadn't heard of or seen these frames as I'm very new to custom cycles. Would be interesting to see how this build finished if it ever was? Also a great inspiration for me to find there is a U.K. distributor for these frames. Think...

    My 2013 Felt "El Bandito"

    Thanks for replying. I'm almost at the point where I'm ready to start stripping the paint from the frame of my Moulton project. Klean Strip doesn't seem to be a brand available here in the U.K. So I will be using Nitro Mors instead. I was originally going to paint the frame once stripped &...

    Unkown year Moulton Mini - ideas welcome!

    A little insight...she is destined to be turned into a tongue-in-cheek speed machine. A slight nod to a home built track cycling record bike from the UK.

    Gulf Cruiser

    The basic frame design looks very similar to the classic British Moulton. How old is the bike?
