These might help the highlight marking is where I have the post .
It looks like the post has a section held on with a big bolt hence why it's heavy .

Thread resurrection time.
Just completed a 10 mile shakedown of this machine, only change is it's lost the heavy seatpost as now using a 25mm post and a set of shims.

Longest ride for a while this morning for me and Mr May a nice 56 miles.
Such a nice machine to ride even after all these years

Holy thread resurrection.
Just got this Ian May ready for it's 2026 appearance on the road, it's just completed a 1 mile round the block test ride successfully.
Decided to weigh it unknown tubing alloy forks 23" frame so not too bad.

Biggsy, has that been front-ended? The front tyre is so close to the down tube that I'd be scared to ride it. A bit of fork flex when braking, and you're in the feedback loop of doom. It's - just - ok for a brakeless track bike.
Or the new forks don't have enough offset and the tyre's too big?

Never been front ended , the Zeus 2000 forks it came with were more of a touring fork so I swapped them out a few years ago (2018) for a pr of Koga alloy forks and last year swapped to a pr of 28mm tyres but it's not that close in reality just looks it in the pictures I suppose it is slightly over tyres
