Just recently found theses 2.
The tires are 16 x 1.35. They are bigger than standard 16 inch tires. The wheels are 16x 1 3/8. The tires Brompton uses are this size as well. They are an odd size and tires can be a challenge to find at times.Are those 14" or 16" or 17" wheels & tires on those?
Not sure if it’s the same ones, possibly. The people I bought them from are from Toronto tho. They told me the bikes had been sitting in a basement since the 80’s. I sold the gold 4 speed to a fellow Moulton enthusiast in London as he wanted a project bike. I’m refurbishing the red one. I just got back the parts from the powdercoater. They will both be back on the road to start new lives. The soft candy red paint really pops in the sun! The only problem I had in disassembly was the rear pivot bolt. It was completely seized so I had to Order a new one from the UK. This bike will be for sale once reassembly is done in case you know someone who would like to buy it.Hey Dave,
I'm pretty sure that I looked at that pair of bikes in Toronto five, six,seven years ago from the original family.
They've been together forever and still are... that's cool.
I was always curious what became of them.
Nice save. They couldn't have found a better home. Enjoy.
I seen one of these in Montreal.Not sure if it’s the same ones, possibly. The people I bought them from are from Toronto tho. They told me the bikes had been sitting in a basement since the 80’s.
