Jon at Box Dog bike took these pictures for me last month. Here goes a bike porn/ shameless self promotion.

Red Moulton AM-7

Here we have me, and my Alex Moulton AM-7 build made in the early 1980s. I scored this bike from a very nice guy from Portland.

Story goes: I found the bike listed on the Moulton Club website last November. I called up and inquired about the listing and spoke with the owner.  We had a very good conversation about the bike and what modification he had done when he restored the bike. I felt connected and agreed with the purchase. Two days later, I drove 11 hours straight from San Francisco to Portland to pick up this beauty. John had done many modification which I prefer not to describe here because I might get it wrong. He wrote an article about his restoration project for Alex Moulton Club publication. I will post that when I get his permission.

This bike rides like a dream. I have been riding it almost every day; rain or shine.. it doesn’t feel any different than 700c bicycle nor does it felt wobbly like other small-wheels bike that I rode in the past.  This bike is a win win win…..

Good morning and happy bike porn day everyone….
