Cranky
Excellent work and a rather neat solution. I may be paranoid but I'd stress slightly about the epoxy giving way during extreme braking. I was thinking about this and one way to negate the need for epoxy would be to tap the fork and insert a thread "seat" onto which you locate your handlebar piece followed by a thin threaded lockring, thus mechanically fixing the the handlebar piece. Then locating the crank arm bolt top cap. I'm note sure what your fork is made of though and if it would be wise to tap the bore of even a steal steering column.
