Sounds like you are building a road bike, so get a road fork is my advice.
Needs to be carbon as I have both, and the steel fork on mercks slx is a bit harsh vs carbon on my cx and other road bike.
So look at carbon road forks with mudguard eyes as standard , disc mounts, and oversized as that seems to make sense to me ( the one on my spesh cx bike looks cool ) - there must be a few fitting the above out there. That wound up looks a bit wrong, but maybe try and get a test ride. It looks a bit like the on one carbon 29er rigid fork on my mtb ss bike, which does seem to work lovely.

Use sumo ?
Single bolt .
But seems to work ok .
Got a suspension one in 27.2 I have been meaning to sell .

Just get a long post and ride it.
Do not paint it, as bare metal will allow you to keep an eye on it..
Clean the post no grease / even roughen it a bit so you do not need to tighten seat clamp a lot.
You may consider a wedge type seatpost , when negates the seatclamp, but not sure if that will work with thin aluminium.
Or else an insert bonded in seat tube which will strength the whole area.
E.g. if seat tube diameter was 30.9 now, you bind in sleeve and use a smaller, poss 27.2 post in the sleeve..

Are you sure you need it . I put back brakes on both my fixxees I use for commuting . I never use the back brake in reality .. Maybe try it with just the front.

I am moving up from brighton and not familiar with area .Any recommendation . Somewhere leafyish and either a max 30 mins ride or quick train away . Handy for motorway good also as will be heading back to brighton every so often .
Looking for small flat / house or poss house share to rent .

In the MTb world you can get bolt on mechs . Look at shimano hone . So mech bolts to end of axle . Means new wheel , and will never really match bike. I have a new rear mech you can have , question mark on postage to Rwanda though . Current fix looks good , maybe put a resealing tube in that back wheel to reduce punctures..

Have you assembled bike inc bars and wheel and tried it . Any roughness may be unnoticeable in operation .

I will take no 4 the 27.2 Thomson if you will post..
Cheers

59 cm top tube

Setup as shown for me at 185mm - 6 foot

Lovely super stiff frame, Principia were regarded as making some of the best aluminium frames.

Dent in downtube which came when this was being transported. I polished off the paint and no cracking at all - I rode this happily with the dent.

Complete bike except for wheels, although if you really want a nice pair of DT 1900’s then I can add in for additional cost.
