So, knowing that my incompetence is not irreversible, I took this to see Krisz at Cyclelab off Old Street, who has done some small work for me in the past and I know a bit from the Saturday training sessions at Herne Hill. He is a mechanic I would recommend if you need work and are around that way. He quickly sorted me out, and so now it looks like this
Well pleased, I have only had time to ride it home and a bit last night, so 10 miles or so through London, but it's incredibly comfortable. Far more so than my track bike, which also is 853. I am sure a lot of that is in the bigger tyres and wider rims. Unfortunately, I had plans all day today so though the weather was lovely I only had time to take a picture, no riding. It may look a little off due to the camera angle, I will try to take better pictures next weekend.
Still needs mudguards and probably a little fiddling, but very close.
