+----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------+ The diamond frame safety bicycle; as elegant and beautiful a thing that it is hasn't changed in overall design since it's conception.
The two wheeled bicycle evolved as a device that was extremely unlikely to ever have been invented at all.
------Alex Moulton, Engineer and Bicycle Manufacturer some development works and credits - Mosquito Bomber, Concorde Jetliner MG Motorcars, Bentley, Morris Mini, Moulton Coach, Moulton and Alex Moulton "F" Frame and Spaceframe bicycles; all developed during the CR timeline. +----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------+
