There is a cool book, hard to find, but if you do locate it you'll find it to be like a college textbook

"The Spaceframe Moultons" http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~hadland/page2.html

Discusses the various models and the underlying design considerations. Brilliant! No Moulton connoisseur can be without this tome! Probably can be ordered thru Arundel.

Well that's a really tough question. There are classic models that are worth maybe $150 and others like the Speed that was talked about on the list a few months back that went for $6000(?) I think. Sir Alex's bikes are brilliant in design and construction and have quite a few admirers on the list and off. I'd say the thing to do is to find out the model and condition and then search Ebay and the web for what that model's selling for today. I don't think there is a buyers guide for Moultons (Lou?). Also check the list archives since this topic has been discussed in the past. good luck, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives Rode his non-classic small wheel bike to work today in Santa Barbara, calif.
