    • Nice review of the Sinclair A-Bike. Who will be the first to fit a Rolhoff 14-speed hub gear, just for the hell of it?

    • Ali, what are 'cpedals'? I've never heard of them. Also, could you could be a little more specific as to what aspect of Moultons and shaft-drive bikes you want to compare, otherwise we'll be here for ever.

    • If someone comes up with a shaft-driven Moulton, that'll really fox him, whether it has cpedals or not...
