Cycling illustrator Brian Walker and his wife Rosemary carried out an extensive touring test across Iceland on Moulton safari bicycles. For dependability, load carrying capacity and a comfortable ride over rough tracks the Moultons were without equal.

The safari’s specifications include: front and rear carriers, large safari bags, Brooks B17 saddle, GB alloy Maes handlebars, 3 in. alloy stem, Coureur brakes, Dunlop Sprite tyres, alloy mudguards, Milremo 5-pin cranks, T.A. chain ring, twin bottles and carriers.
