That seat is much too far back for you!
On gearing I second what others have said here, 11-32 is fine for all but the quickest riding in Kent, for me at least with 44 front.
Remember fixed gear! One gear can be enough it's just about speed n effort/efficiency. I think people worry about gearing more than necessary

I feel like further winterising my road bike by making it 1x.
Just feeling like something more minimal even if it is ultimately less versatile.
The more minimal I've been building my bikes the more I think I enjoy them.
Could be a terrible decision.
How does 46 x 11-32 sound?
Mostly Kent and Surrey. Solo and group riding at about 27 - 30 kph avg.
Weekly Paceline at 45 - 50 kph.
