Maybe. I think until i'm happy with everything I'll run it on two of the same rims for stability; the one on the back is a diamondback economy alloy rim and I have a second one on order.

Now that would be a wheel!
What are the wheels on the Dahon Continental? They look pretty light and cool

The steerer is already threaded so I'm having to go for a threaded headset and quill stem - which actually arrived yesterday.

You have a front deraileur as a chain guide though don't you? I've not looked into it properly but I'm sure there must be a way. There are lots of self adhesive/cable tie based cable routers that might be of help in getting the cable to it... If I do it I'll need a chain tensioner myself.

True. I like the clean look of the stays with no clutter though...
