Moulton Major

Bicycles and Human-Powered Road Vehicles

The Moulton Major was the basic F-frame Moulton bicycle of the Raleigh years. After Raleigh took over the struggling Moulton company in August 1967 the range was cut to just two models, the Major and the Major Deluxe, and the Moulton Bicycle Club describes the Major as an updated Standard, the earlier four speed hub model that was by far the most common Moulton. It kept the small wheels, rubber suspension and open frame of the 1962 design. Both Majors were dropped when the Mark III arrived in 1970. English Wikipedia adds that Raleigh built the Major, the Major Deluxe and the Mark III until production stopped in 1974. The sources read give no further specification for the Major.
