The Moulton Speedsix was the model Alex Moulton launched to win over club cyclists to the small-wheeled bicycle, a versatile racing and touring machine fitted with a six-speed derailleur gear. Every earlier Moulton had used an internal hub gear, so the manufacturer describes the Speedsix as the first mass-produced bicycle of any type with a six-speed derailleur. It appears in the Wikipedia list of home-market models as the Speedsix M6, built between 1962 and 1967 at the Moulton factory in Bradford-on-Avon and the BMC factory at Kirkby, and it was followed in 1966 by the racing S Speed.
