If it is your pride and joy…why sell…if can do a workaround as you have done..,but you changed the fork? I was going to ask you if you were a skidder…when I rode fixed, I couldn’t do a skid stop for love or money…I would either be dead or in A&E. Vivaldi make lovely frames…👍
Thanks…I will report back tomorrow.

I’d like there to not be as much exposed seatpost and stem, but like you say the workaround whilst not as visually appealing as I would like means I can ride it. Which is the most inportant thing!
Original fork was bent in a collision with a kid on a trike in battersea park, was brakeless at the time. Collision definitely not my fault, but made the decision to swap to a fork drilled for a brake an easy one.
Such a joy to ride when you get going, something about the geometry makes you want to go fast, but it is swift to change direction, and lovely to loiter along on, when the suns out as well.. city gear isn’t too spinny, but allows for a decent push once you get rolling..

Thanks it’s summer bike, frame us a tad small for me, but I brought the frame in Japan and it would break my heart to sell, so I live with the excess seatpost and raised stem, full shot below.
Hope the saddle adjustment works for you.
