Celebrating Triangulation

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

I've always liked but never ridden a Moulton. The Space Frame concept is appealing on a number of levels, and the spin offs are many - some a little excessive IMHO. Fun to see how people are thinking about frames, structure, materials and assembly techniques. Here are just a few I've run across that got my attention:

Starting with the Moulton classic

This one a titanium riveted erector set style from BME Design

Here's the full view

It's not easy being green - especially if you are the builder...

Another BME creation - carbon this time

This last one is a little over the top...Wonder what the frame alone weighs?

Not sure if any of these beats a classic diamond frame in terms of elegance, but I appreciate the effort that is evident in all of them. Please add your favorites if the mood strikes.

One I wish I had not sold damit: the ultra rare "Campeur-style" Rivendell Bombadil.

What a beauty! I wonder where it is now?

My practical side says those look really hard to clean.

Great build in that Bombadil! Hope you kept those super fresh cranks.

Hi,

I recently bought a Mouton. When I saw that PortaPed in AZ had one in orange, I jumped on it. They are hard to get and its rare to find the exact one you want in stock.

They ride really nice but are sensitive to tire selection. I get the best performance with Schwalbe One tires on it.

I would love to hear the story of the Campeur Bombadil....if it's not going to open old wounds
