    Correct regarding headset, stem and bottom bracket. Replacement Moulton headsets would be difficult to find.

    Hi Chris,

    I have just finished such a project. Headset bottom races are rare (order rocking horse manure while you’re at it) Michael from Moulton preservation has apparently got some in good nick so drop him a line. Top race as you say is a standard 1 inch threaded.

    For my bottom bracket I have fitted a 122mm square taper on a Dahon 52 tooth chainset. This gave me a good chainline to the SA 5 speed (SRF5N) rear hub. Yhe OLN is 119mm on mine and fits fine just make sure you get the thick tab washers or the nuts are a bit short.

    If I can be of furthe help please just drop me an email.
