Rubbish

I had to abort my ride to work to recover a Moulton Super 4 from a
rubbish pile the other day. A bit tatty but it doesn't look as though it
needs a great deal of elbow grease to get it back into working order if
I decide to keep it, looks a bit small for me though.

Super 4s were the poshest of the 14"-wheel series of F-Frame Moultons. They
were effectively 7/8 scale replicas of the 16" range, intended for shorter
riders. 5'6" would be about the upper end of the height range.

This would also swell the fleet to ~7 bikes or one for each day
of the week, her indoors is not necessarily best pleased at the
prospect.

Would she feel differently if you gave it to her?

My altitude is about 5'10" so it will be a bit small. I have stuffed it
in a shed for now and will mull over its fate. It looks quite dinky and
the wheels are amazingly small compared to the Brompton.

On the whole it looks apart from the lack of a chain, crank and chain
ring as though it is quite sound. The SA 4 speed makes nice ticking
noises and the trigger seems to work fine. Tyres will need replacing as
they are a bit perished. Also need to check that nothings seized, it
looks like it spent sometime outside.

One gets the feeling he will never know!
