Hi Rob
The seat tube on the Super 4 is 15 and a quarter inches from the centre of the bottom bracket axle to the top of the tube and 1 and a quarter inch parallet sided.
Head tube is 12 and a half inches long, and 1 and a quarter inches diameter parallel sided. The head tube angle of 70 degrees is parallel with the seat tube.
I obtained this information from my copy of The Marvellous Moulton Mini by Paul Grogan.
I’m no expert by the way, so don’t ask me what parallel sided means although I could guess.
My daughter has a Super 4 which I sometimes ride: a beautiful little bike: a little jewel. It’s a bit small for me at 5 feet nine inches but I can ride it with my legs a bit more bent than I normally ride.
Interestingly it perfectly fits a friend who is 5 feet 10 inches but he has relatively short legs for his height (29 inches) whereas mine are slightly long for my height, at 32 inches (public bone height measurment).

I should have mentioned – what a find in a charity shop! I look in local charity shops but the only bikes I’ve seen are cheap so-called mountain bikes.
With that good fortune keep a look out, you never know, you may eventually pick up a Speedsix!
