Behold one of only 50 Guvnor Plus Fours ever made. You cannot buy this bicycle anymore, you can only look at it. Chances are you’ll never see one in the wild. Chances are you’ll never ride a bicycle with four gears and no obvious means of changing them. Chances are you’ll never be so torn between riding and admiring.
At horizontal, kick this plate with your heel to change gear on the Speed-Drive
And / or back pedal 15% to change gear in the Sachs Duomatic hub
Click to marvel at the full gear change instructions
Remember the early Guvnor press shots? The glorious wingnuts finally make their appearance
No one else in the world has this number plate
Well, it would be rude not to take it for a gentle spin
A great many thanks go to the Simon, the owner of Plus Four 4/50, whose kindly submitted photographs are reproduced here.
Endnote: since receiving these photos this bicycle has already become enmeshed in an unexpected adventure of sorts. We have an intriguing follow up story to tell, but it is yet to fully unfold.
Watch this space.

So Travis, did you end up getting the bike? She’d make for a nice photo with the Bridge in the background!
Cheers,

Glad to hear you on that site. Don’t wait to be in your second-life to try the “2+2″ plus four system. I made a demonstration last october on the limited Moulton 50 which you can try in my shop when you want. By the way, do you know any Moulton’s owner in Bordeaux?

PS when you pass the third speed, be sure the cable is absolutely loose. It’s not necessary to stop to pedal but you must stop to push on it.
