  • amazing guy - and to think he designed and invented with plain old pen and paper and brains - non of your new fangled CAD bikes. Good innings as well.
    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    Ah. I did work experience at the Moulton factory. It's just down the road from my folks house. I didn't get to meet him but was an interesting week. I made wheels with some guy who apparently won an Olympic medal back in 1948 or something. The workshop was pretty basic and after welding they used to dunk frames in the sink with all the tea dregs in.
