A very popular misconception lads. Once you get past the size of the wheels they handle like a "big" bike. I've had mine for nearly 3 years and it's a hoot over taking other cyclists on it. Top speed, down hill admittedly, 47.8 m.p.h. no problem!
Resurrecting this thread too, I'm with Lardyboy 100%.
Since I rode a Moulton Demonstrator in the summer of '62 I've been a convert. I took delivery of my Safari (piccie below I hope) at Easter time 1963 and I've not ridden a big wheeled bike since then.
I too have a Williams AB77 cotterless set, currently fitted to the Safari as you can see, and I rode with it yesterday.
It came from my Speedsix, currently being rebuilt (the word 'currently' used in its widest possible sense here, the re-build has lasted at least 10 years, maybe more!)
