Moulton Major Deluxe

The Moulton Major Deluxe was the higher specification F-frame Moulton bicycle of the Raleigh years. After Raleigh took over the Moulton company in August 1967 the range was reduced to the Major and the Major Deluxe, and the Moulton Bicycle Club describes the Major Deluxe as an updated Deluxe, the higher spec four speed hub model of the earlier Series 1 and Series 2 bicycles. English Wikipedia records that both models were dropped when the Mark III was introduced in 1970, and that Raleigh made Moultons until production stopped in 1974. The Major Deluxe carried on the small wheels, rubber suspension and low open frame that Alex Moulton designed in 1962. The sources read give no further specification for the Major Deluxe.
