Moulton Mark III

Bicycles and Human-Powered Road Vehicles

The Moulton Mark III, written MkIII by the manufacturer, was a revised F-frame Moulton with a triangulated rear fork, introduced in 1970 after a series of high-performance prototypes that included Colin Martin's England-to-Australia Moulton Marathon ride. It was the first Moulton made after Raleigh bought the Moulton bicycle business in 1967, with Alex Moulton staying on as a consultant while Raleigh handled manufacturing. Earlier Moultons were called Series 1 and Series 2 to tell them apart from it. Production continued until 1974, when Raleigh ended the programme and the first collaboration between the two firms closed.
