  Oh yes good idea ! I'll look at the specs to see if i can gain the missing millimeters.
  Honestly i dont think it will be dangerous to weld a small portion of steerer. It's just to get over the axis of the second screw of the stem. Now it's just under. Will see and update the topic.

  Thanks

  My V4 in his current state with the easton fork and the brakes.

  I found a V2 at kingkog two years ago that i want to mount. The steerer is just a little bit short for my size small V4 (just a few mm). I think the v2 headtubes were shorter. I need to weld a small portion of tube on the top of the existing one. I also want to braze v-brake bosses. Any toughts ?

  My Swiss Ferraroli gets functionnal :)

  A part of me want to spend more time on the guards adjustement, install a dynamo hub and lights and a rear pannier but the other want to remove all that stuff and keep that bike to play in the woods and do wheelies and bunny hops on my work commute. Same story every time i try to mount a functionnal bike 🤷 Is it the same for you ?

  Looks very fast and agile, i like it ! It will be light with nemo tubes.
  Stem looks a bit dumb but i dont see any other option to have the bar at this position.

  Any chance you'll sell the P2 fork ? I am looking for one for my kona explosif max.
