With 'skills' you could probably make some sort of franken hybrid fork out of the stock moulton and a Raleigh Twenty piece with some hacking and brazing, but as far as I can see the clearance at the back is pretty tight so I don't think it's gonna be a goer.
LP,
My son is doing engineering at school and one of the classes he attends are building a steel prototype of a racing recumbent, (that next year will be made from carbon fibre), so I figure that frankenbiking the front and rear forks to fit 406 rims is not out of the question.
As I have a set of 406 wheels with a SA 8 spd hub already built and plenty of old frames to scavenge from I was hoping to save money and use my son's skills as cheap labour
