The Moulton Bicycle was a huge commercial success, and became a cultural icon. An expensive premium range known as the S range was also available. A wide variety of models were available with varying specifications, ranging from the Standard, the sporty Speedsix, a touring version called the Safari, and a separable model called the Stowaway. The original F frame, or Series 1 was improved on with the Series 2. This bicycle has become know as the Classic Moulton or the F-Frame Moulton. This led to the launch in late 1962 of the original Moulton Bicycle. His aim was to improve on the classic "diamond frame" bicycle, and to produce a bicycle that was "more pleasing to have and to use". Alex Moulton spent the years 1958 until 1962, researching and developing the Moulton Bicycle Concept.
