1965 Moulton F Frame Series 1

This is my latest Craigslist find - a pair of 1965 F Frame series 1 Moultons. I bought it for $45 bucks a piece and everything is original except for the seats. They are in pretty good condition considering their age and minimal rust but i have cleaned and polished them and have also added a vintage brooks and ideale saddles (another Craigslist find).

1972 Raleigh Twenty Folder

Another Craigslist find. I offered the seller $120 for it. It was missing the original hinge lock, chainguard, pump and was a little rusty but otherwise in good condition.


Here is how it looked like when I first got it.
I replaced the 20x2.1 Cheng Sheng tires with a 20x1.85 Drive Technologies Load tires. I also replace the improvised hinged lock with a stainless 3/8x1" allen bolt.




It had a Persons spring saddle which felt very comfortable. I cant decide yet whether I am going to restore it or to modify it.

Dahon Classic III

This is my very first folding bike. I bought it at a thrift store in Santa Monica in 1999 for $35 bucks. I sold it three years later to a co-worker. I was bitten by the folding bike bug after reading Sheldon Brown's article on the Raleigh Twenty folder. I asked my co-worker whom I sold the bike if he still had it and if I could buy it back. He said yes and so here it is again. It was still in very good condition having been kept inside his garage the whole time. I cleaned it up and I put in new tires and tubes and polished all the chrome and it looks new again.
