Dear Sir Alex Moulton

　I would like to inform you "a disaster" my AM/MPB met.It was while I was riding my APB last month.
　On 23 April,I was on my way to home from my office with my APB. I felt some strange feeling that I was sinking down slowly.I thought that fastener of saddle post must be loosen by some reason,and I stopped to get off and find the reason.
　But I was sincerely surprised to find it was caused by a reason something different. The both bottom pipes of the back triangle frame was broken,cut off. And the top pipes were bent by the weight of me(about 75kg with cloths and a bag).But it was already too late and dark, I couldn't see the detail well. I carried my wounded APB to my home pushing handle with hands.
　The next morning, I saw the broken part of the pipes. I was sure that it was broken, not by pressure from side but tention. Because the section was kept fine circle. I had suspected someone might cut some part. But, I cold find nothing marked to tell it was cut by some intentional operations.

　I inform you this case, not to claim some compasations but only to know the reason of this case that I think is very rare. Of course, I am sure you only can find the reason. And I want to know how to get the back triangle frame, and how much it costs.
　In fact, I bought it not through the formal dealer:DYNAVECTOR but a camera discountshop. When one of my friend found two of Moulton MPB, he called me and asked if I wanted to buy it or not. In this way, I could get it for very low price. Later,one came to me, and he is now indispensable part of me.

Here are some conditions how I use APB.
1)I bought it in 1993.
2)I ride it nearly every day between my home and office, about 6km.
3)I have never kept it outdoor, even a day.
4)The photographs sent with this mail will show you how it is.

I have your signature on the main post of my black APB, in gold letters. You were so kind to write it at the MOULTON owner's meeting at Hara village. The meeting was opened by Dynavector, on November 3rd 1994. One of my friends who bought AM asked them to let us join the meeting, and we could join it.

6月7日だったろうか、モールトンから連絡があったらしく正規販売店ダイナベクターの専務・富成さんから電話が来た。なぜぼくたちの自転車が安く売られたかについての、ダイナベクターにとってはとてもくやしい事情があることも聞いた。後ろのﾌﾚｰﾑは24000円で、いまは黒いのはなくて赤いのしかないのだという。黒と赤のハイブリッドもいいかと思うことにした。

メールボックスを開いてみると、6月5日に簡単なメールがモールトンの会社から届いていた。「製造をしているパシュレイに伝えたよ。」ということだ。。

Tamai, � Thank you for your mail which is receiving our attention. I have forwarded your mail to W.R.Pashley who build the bicycles for us. � Webmaster

再び、吉松さんに報告メールを送り、返事が来た。

　メール読みました。玉井さんが切々と経過説明しながら、訴えているのに随分じゃないと言う感じですね。モールトン卿へは伝わっているのでしょうかネ？
これ以上の反応があるのか、暫く様子を見ると言うことでしょうか。
何かあったらまた御連絡ください。

そして8月3日、富成さんから電話があった。「ﾌﾚｰﾑが届いたので、阿佐ヶ谷の和田サイクルに送っておきます。黒の艶消しにしてもらいました」という。翌日、通りがかりに和田サイクルに寄ったけれどまだ届いていなかった。近いうちにモールトンで通勤できることになりそうだ。
