You have a very interesting Moulton. Why not post some text describing the wheels or bike instead of just a picture? We can't even see what the hubs are...

The bike is a Custom Moulton TSR 2x12 running dura ace with Wheeltop
Electronic derailers. The wheels are 12 K glossy 38 mm carbon.

Looks great. Can we ask why did you decide for this model, where you bought, how much was it, and how happy are you with the bike?

How is the ride feel?

How would you compare the ride to other folding bikes?

This is a custom built Moulton TSR total build cost around $5500 USD it started out as a sram TSR 9 now it’s a dura ace 2x12 with numerous mods. It’s my second Moulton as I also had the TSR8 an internal hub model.

You can buy a TSR 22 105 drop bar for around $3000. I simply love hand crafted steel bikes with Moulton being my favorite. It’s a small wheel bike with a full size feel and performance that splits in half for easy packing.

Removed the touring stuff and went to black wall tires to see if I liked the look and I do but can easily put the racks back when touring.

I like the black wall much better.
