I remember as a little kid back then in the 70s raleigh was the big thing back then along with schwin. Now theres tons of bike manufacturers making anything is sight. The raleigh I had was sold to me in a box for 25.00 big ones, unassembled of course.
Very nice lines on that bike, looked like it was way ahead of its time no doubt. I currently ride a bike-e recumbent and love it. I would never get rid of my bike at any price, but wouldn't mind another.
I just bought a Moulton Stowaway that is supposed to have been built in the mid-60's. I won't actually have it for a week or so, so don't have a serial number or other definitive information, so don't if that is-or-is-not correct.
I plan to restore it and your video has inspired me to get busy on it.
Can you guide me toward any resources for advice, parts, etc.?
Hi there, and congrats on your recent acquisition - seems you're about to become a Moultoneer! For help, advice and parts, several resources spring to mind, the most useful being the 'moultonbicycle' yahoo group, 'Moulton Preservation' and the Moulton Bicycle Club - Google will show you the way to each. If you decide to join the later, the huge archive of back issues of 'The Moultoneer' magazine becomes available online.
Nice, Ive got a 1950's Raleigh 4 speed bycycle, I suppose il have to get some new tyres for it this year (Aslong as there nor dreaded white wall tyres).
I know I've got to tell that's a lovely Moulton, but I need to know what tune is that?

@frootiloopi Hi, the music is by the Japanese outfit Kyoto Jazz Massive, I'm afraid I can't remember which track I used now though.
