Dr Alex Moulton on Country File.

Post by medwaybeat »

There was a very short interview with Dr Moulton and a quick look at his bicycle factory on Country File this evening, if anyone missed it.

What a Gent he is too, i spoke to him a few years back on the phone...i was talking to Mini Sport about a set of Smootha ride cones for my 1275 S and i asked if they could recommend a better set of shocks to go with them, "i can do better than that " said the guy on the phone, "you can talk to the man who invented the cones",next thing i know i`m talking to Dr Moulton on the phone!..." young man" he said, " i always recommend Koni shock absorbers to go with my new cones if you want an upgrade on the standard ones"., after a short chat i of course took his advice and have used Koni`s ever since on my best rebuilds.

An FT article and a video about Alex Moulton from 2008 that may be of interest to some that I posted on the MCR forum here:

(It got some strange symbols added when imported to the later MCR forum software but is still readable and won't allow me to edit them out!)
