'The Moulton bicycle was born out of my resolve to challenge and improve upon the classic bicycle, with its diamond frame and large wheels, which has locked bicycle design into that form since the pioneering work in England by Starley and others at the end of the 19th century and is perpetuated in the Tour de France bike and the basic Mountain Bike of today.'
