Moulton AM Speed

Bicycles and Human-Powered Road Vehicles

The Moulton AM Speed is the fixed-frame racing version of the AM spaceframe Moulton. Moulton's history says it was launched at the annual meet of the Moulton Bicycle Club in September 1989, following the success of AM rider Dave Bogdan in the Race Across America, and calls it a non-separable racing version of the AM bicycle and the lightest production Moulton yet. Dave Bogdan had ridden a prototype AM SPEED in the 1988 race. The maker's current page describes it as developed in response to Race Across America competition, retaining the 17 inch wheel heritage and classic AM spaceframe, built in Reynolds 725 and Kaisei NiCrMo steels with stainless steel dropouts, Leading Link front suspension and Monosphere rear suspension, and still available to order. A retailer calls it the lightest and fastest of the iconic AM series.
