A guy overtook me the other day on a Moulton AM series bike. Dr. Alex Moulton has been making his distinctive, small-wheeled, full-suspension bikes for over 40 years, quietly innovating away and producing what many of their adherents (including Sir Norman Foster and James Dyson) claim to be the best bicycles in the world. Not to be confused with small wheeled folding shopper bikes, the latest Moultons use a space-frame construction which is a marvel of engineering and a thing of beauty. The same cannot be said of the website. Perhaps I should offer to redesign it in exchange for a Moulton New Series Speed Stainless - a bargain at only £5000.
but such tiny wheels!

Coupled with Moulton's suspension, the tiny wheels aren't a problem. They roll fast, and even my old 1965 Moulton could smoke road bikes. I'm currently a Brompton rider, so I know all about tiny wheels.
Just wish I had a real Moulton again ...
