This colorful Moots is on top of one of the ceiling beams at the shop. We don't sell Moots so it was always a curiosity. Yesterday I asked one of the owners about it.
It was a customer's who passed away and loved color. He rode it on long back road excursions. I guess in the post Rapha era these rides would be called "epics".
The rear hub is a very limited edition custom Chris King. It is 36 hole, 24 on the drive-side 12 on the non.
Thought some might find it interesting.
nice. i could see adding streamers to the ends of the handlebars.

Nah....that look is for Hardly-Desirables (Harley-Davidsons)
Yo Mike....I had never heard that one before, excellent. Here in LA HD's are as common as flies on crap. I am a motorcyclist myself, but I never quite got the rabid attraction to the brand....
As a memorial to the former owner, it would be nice to have a picture and description below the bike for people to check out. That really is a cool story.

+1 KidWok. I think if it were me, I'd rather have someone I knew enjoy and ride the bike.
I give the Harley riders a break. When I was racing out of Boston in the '70s, it was the leathered guys on Harleys that just might be the ones to stop and help if I were in a real jamb. Plus I never had to worry about them around me. They had riding skills, were very aware of what was going on around them and fully got what I could and could not do on a 20 lb bike.
Several times, I was stopped at lights in tougher areas of Boston, had guys looking just as tough as the neighborhood pull up beside me on their hogs, spend the entire sequence studying my outfit (bright jersey, black shorts, Italian shoes and shaved legs) then give me a big thumbs up as they hit the throttle.
