Not sure what's the best place is in the UK to buy your parts.
Other members will know lots more about this.

To calculate your speed, THIS link could be helpfull.

34mph is too slow for an ST70 engine.
17 - 32 sprockets are a bit too heavy, try 15-32 or something. (1 teeth equals 3 at the back, so 15-32 is more or less the same as 17-38)
But I assume that there's something wrong wit the engine as well, because it should accelerate very slow but achieve a high top speed with these sprockets.
I'm thinking about ignition / cam timing...
