Got my repaired vivalo back from Neil Orrell. He replaced the top and headtube for me, had to heat the BB shell to get the remainder of the NJS one out. Charged me a very reasonable £60 for all this, then fitted the headset I brought with me while I waited and didn't want any money for doing that. Told me some cool stories about him and his mates touring fixed decades ago too. Great guy, and there are some bargains in his shop, including some lovely track frames (a couple of triple triangles too!)
Built it up with parts bin bits and some other random acquisitions, rides absolutely lovely, and fits me so well. The only reason I bought the frame in the first place is because as a T-rex this 57/53 is pretty much what I would get if I went custom.
