The unique "MW" FLYTE
The Moulton Bicycle Company and Moulton Bicycle Club are pleased to announce the release of a unique model in memory of Michael Woolf, founder of Moulton Preservation and the guiding heart of the Moulton Bicycle Club for many years.
Moulton was asked by the Moulton Bicycle Club to create a one-off bicycle to celebrate Michael’s life and in particular his devotion to preserving and supporting owners of early “F-frame” Moulton bicycles.
The Company chose its Flyte model as the foundation for this unique bicycle, as this Y-frame model sits between the era of the 1960s “F-frame” models and the “spaceframe” models that Moulton makes today.
The frame has received a special “variegated gold patina” finish – meticulously applied by hand – to represent both Michael’s colourful and warm personality and the restoration work he undertook. The components have been specially selected to give a “retro” feel, with the Alfine hub gear being matched with a "Century" crankset and drop handlebars equipped with a set of Versa shifters. The finishing touch is the addition of one of the last AM branded B17 saddles that Moulton has in its possession.
The “MW Flyte” was revealed for the first time at the Moulton Bicycle Club’s 50th Anniversary meeting at The Hall Estate (in August 2025), Bradford on Avon. As a touching gesture, some members of the Club worked alongside Moulton bicycle employees to add the final details to this very special bicycle.
The “MW Flyte” is being raffled with every ticket sold supporting The Brain Tumour Charity, whose support was invaluable to Michael throughout his illness.
Tickets cost £10 and can be purchased online, by post or in person at the Moulton Club weekend. The winner will be drawn on the 22nd of August 2026. For more information, please visit the Moulton Club website:
