Moulton Standard M1 1965 (finished)

That looks in great condition & are those things easy to dismantle & reassemble

They are a doddle actually. The only potentially challenging bit is if the outer chromed casing won’t unscrew from the ballring. This guy has done a great step-by-step guide LINK so I just follow along with the pictures. It is generally good advice not to let your ballrings get seized in the first place though

That’s a good link as about the only thing I’ve not done is tear down one of these hubs which now looking at the pics is straightforward. Thank you for sharing

Finally got round to adding the decals and head tube badge.

I normally ride a Brompton or my trusty Dawes Galaxy but today i picked up a 1965 Deluxe to bolster the fleet. Moulton's are really amazing feats of engineering.

That's a very nice colour, which definitely suits a small tubed bike. What is it exactly, do you have the RAL?

I have a similar colour on my 1962 Carlton Criterium - colour was called Eau d'nil.

Thank you very much! The colour is Reseda Green (RAL 6011). Looking now, the online colour charts seem quite different to the colour in the photos. The photos are an accurate representation of how it looks in real life though.
