Well, a bit of buyer's remorse setting in. I bought a Moulton last night and am pretty sure I overpaid, the frame is a bit too big for me, etc

Like I say a bit of buyer's remorse.

Bike needs a bit of work, should be repainted, and needs decals. Has a mix of mostly japanese stuff on it, Sugino cranks and interestingly - very early Suntour Superbe brakes and calipers. All of those pieces will be going to ebay I suspect.

As far as I can tell, and knowing the approximate timeline this is a british built frame. Can anyone tell me what Dave was building with while still in England - 531??

Also, the serial number is ( I think, it was dark) M6139. The serial number info on Moutlon's website deals with his US built bikes, so can anyone tell me anything about this serial number or direct me to more info.

Thanks very much, just what I need, another project bike!!
