Hi, John. Thanks for your info about the abundance of Blogs on the Velo-Retro site..I already need a 36-hour day to read absorb all those Blogs that are iconned on my computer.
Talking about Dave Moulton and assuming from your earlier emails that you and I are about the same height ie vertically callenged, I thought about you when I noticed an original 1970s Dave Moulton for sale on UK eBay.
The frame is 20.5 inch C-to-C seat tube with a 21.5 top-tube. The design is typically uncluttered using Reynolds 531DB brazed into long-point no-windows Prugnat lugs...nice wrapover seat stay eyes. Paintwork is one colour black enamel with red lug lining..and chrome Campagnolo c vertical drop-outs...very iuderstated...set off inevitably by Dave's very classy head-tube transfer with its quadruple Ms. Frame No is M568
Current selling price is £75, with about five days to go
I am too sure just how well remembered Dave is in the UK..we're talking some 35 years ago. The frame is advertised as a touring frame, but resembles more just a good Club-type frame with its mudguard eyes and no MAFAC bosses or pannier eyes. Mercifully the seller has not tried to pass it off as a FIXIE, which might help to keep the price down a bit.
