That's a good one. I used to enjoy riding in the rain when I was younger ( yes, I really did! ). Now when I get wet I get miserable and start worrying about pneumonia! It must be an age thing!

Tell you what, I'll ride out there (probably Wednesday) and take a look-see - couple of hours ride. One or two things to do today, tomorrow I'm driving the Community Bus, so Wednesday is Ride My Bike Day!
I'll report back to this thread.

He prefers it over the TSR 30 because of the lower gears and the straight bars, although he hasn't ridden a Moulton yet.
Could someone please advise me on 2 points? First I've read that there seem to be some issues to do with the reliability of the gears on the TSR bikes. Is this a problem and does it apply to the TSR 27?
Secondly, where is a good place to buy which could give him advice on sizing, make any adjustments for height and reach if necessary and let him try it out?
He's 6 foot 2 and should with a bit of luck be accommodated by their standard frame size which apparently can take someone with an inside leg measurement of 27 to 35 inches.
Given the price of used Pashley Moultons and his relative lack of cycling knowledge, I think that on balance he's probably right to buy new.
Thank you
Jonty

It's on the site of the old Camelford Railway Station that Beeching closed in the 60s.
Do you know? I've never been to it! I've cycled past it many times, but it isn't always open, and usually I'm a long way and a long time from home. I really need to get there as a mission!
On a different thread, I was going on about meeting LEGOGers in Camelford and escorting them into Devon. We weren't more than a mile from the museum as we left Camelford before turning right onto the A395 for Launceston.
