But can anyone suggest where I can get a short 150 - 160mm chainset capable of taking a 32t ring?

Cornering. You can't stop the pedals from turning in the bends, so you'll ground the arms pretty easily. Try it on a bike with a freewheel next time you're out - keep pedalling through the bends, it's nuts!
