Hi, rainbow fans. It was Andrew Beckman who had the idea of painting the bike all sorts of colours. He bought the 1963 Moulton from me and was inspired by the canal rose design on the front of headtube, painted by Issy Whitford. This is the one part that you can’t actually see on the photographs! Andrew e-mailed us several times about his ideas and colour choices. He is barking- but in a good way. We called the Moulton “Magenta” when we owned it. It always rode very smoothly.

[...] Ah yes, the mud: I’m told that it’s all part of the attraction of the discipline. I was reduced to putting a scented hankie over my nose when a cyclo cross kid wheeled his mud machine past my freshly polished Moulton. [...]
