That's a very smart Moulton Old Lefty. I have had a thought about them from time to time.  :drool:

Those are two remarkable feats of precision engineering.

Moultons are rare here on the East Coast of Canada.

^, ^^ and ^^^

Thanks gents! They are very rare down here as well. In my 6 years of Moulton ownership I’ve never seen another.

No pics, but I used only SAK tools to put a rear rack on my beach cruiser. 10mm wrench from a Snowboarder, multi-wrench for the 8mm nuts, 4mm hex from a Cybertool, and the ‘02+ in-line phillips which I’ve discovered fits 6mm hex.

Now if only I could have all that in one SAK…

Yeah…but probably gonna take a while to get more donor parts!  I don’t buy a lot of Wengers…and I have a hard time imagining pulling apart the rare-ish bike tool if I ever find one for the 10mm wrench with the added spoke tool. And I’ve only really looked at adapting the multi-wrench into 91mm Vics…not so sure about going the other way round with Vic tools in the 85mm frame.  :think: :dunno:

Zombie thread alive!

Restored and put together this 1995 Cannondale M500. It does no longer sport the original parts as I went for period correct Shimano XT and some other upgrades - to my personal taste.




If you are wondering about the Vic... It is in this one (on the table behind the bike).




Very useful kit tinkering with bikes.

Thanks!

In October I did this 1992 Diamond Back Axis Pro.





And the Vic (look closely)

I enjoyed taking the mountain bike on a few trails over the summer break.



I took the companion along.
