Moulton Flyte
Please note that Moulton bicycles are all handmade in England to order and at present we have limited stock. Current stock can be viewed HERE. Current lead times for new orders can be found HERE.
WE DO NOT SHIP OUTSIDE MAINLAND GB.
The Flyte is the latest development of Moulton’s ‘unique and universal’ bicycle. The ancestry of the Flyte can be traced right back to the Arrow and Y-frame bikes of the 70s including Alex Moulton’s own Y-frame bike.
We encourage customers to collect their bikes from our shop in Stratford-upon-Avon so we can fully assemble the bike and adjust it to fit perfectly. We can also deliver to any UK address for £40. Bikes are boxed and need a small amount of assembly on arrival – usually the pedals need to go on and the handlebars need straightening – We can talk you through this if needed.
Additional Information
The Moulton Flyte has essential Moulton features - small wheels and full suspension for comfort and road-holding, stiff open frame for unisex use and a range of luggage options.
Bike shown has optional SWAN-NECK stem, Front Platform Carrier and Large Rear Platform Carrier.
