horrible then, horrible now - save the money for something else!

look at the moulton mini one of the worst cycles ever made, now rare and cost a fortune!

Erm, no, not really, and about £40.

and, for the authentic Activator II build, yours is a later model. the original was green and silver...

build it with m730 ,some nice wheels and get some mag 21's on it
maybee a nice syncros stem and post tho i don't know if syncros made a
25 mm post
you can always take the good bits off later

go on ,do it

I agree, just for the noise it will cause.

When I was on holiday I did two 20 mile XC rides with the site guide and MTB racer and we were joined by a guy on an original activator who doggedly kept up with us the whole way. I suggested that his ability deserved something a lot nicer and he said he was going to join up here as he couldn't believe what you could get for your money.

i had a 'crackled silver/black' one when i was 13. it got robbed as a rat and i was gutted, got a max ogre off the littlewoods on tick shortly after. i honestly wouldnt mind owning one again just because mine was stolen and i was so gutted at the time but from memory there wasnt even 1mm of sus travel it was all about the looks.

moultons..........yeh if your luck you can get one in need of restoration for £40
all the ones ive seen in wiltshire are closer to £100...not worth it
