Yes they can have rear fork cracks - if they have been riden hard/by heavy people and/or made on Friday in Kirkby (allegedly). </p> <p>No sixties Moulton can ride as well as an AM but for a full supension, fun, bike for less than £100 (tatty) they are quite impressive. </p> <p>Basic upgrades new tyres - same size as Brompton so much choice and many technological advances. £40ish</p> <p>Next upgrade rims - well worth it for weight loss (and more import) better braking - £45ish</p> <p>Powdercoat not cheap - and you'll have to do a complete disassembly - not always easy to remove rear forks. </p> <p>Wanna borrow one to see if it's the ride4U? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3515#post-36778 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 12:52:08 +0000 Arellcat 36778@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ch, after being impressed with your AM, I have to admit I'm slightly tempted by that F-frame.

Looks like a nice machine though. <a href="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/festival-fringe-wheels-moulton-f-frame-deluxe-mk2-1965-collectors-bike-freshly-renovated/85002708">Moulton F-frame deluxe Mk2</a>.</p> <p>No, I don't know the seller nor is he paying me commission. </p>
