Moulton Earl Grey B1866 Special Limited Edition (150th year Brooks)

The Moulton AM ‘Earl Grey’ is a Special Edition bicycle designed to complement the Brooks Cambium C15 and C17 vulcanised rubber saddles. Alex Moulton’s great-grandfather, Stephen Moulton, was a friend of Charles Goodyear. Goodyear discovered the rubber vulcanisation process, and in 1842 Moulton brought vulcanised rubber to Europe. Moulton founded a rubber manufactory in Bradford on Avon, a stone’s throw from the present-day Moulton bicycle factory.

The ‘Earl Grey 1866’ is a Limited Edition build specification configured to commemorate the 150th year of Brooks saddle manufacture. Features special copper detailing on the Brooks saddle, Brooks grips, and spokes.
