Improvised Canti hanger, not pretty but it's solid. (original Canti hangers for the BAM forks are as rare as hens teeth sha* out of a rocking horses ar*e).
You do see Zs for sale sometimes with hangers - you could always buy fork you don't need, remove hanger, sell fork you don't need.

Should be a good contrast to the fully rigid single speed E3 (a shiny partner too
), notice how lower the front end is on the Zaskar though, both bikes have the same length and rise stems.
Itching to ride it but have decided to wait till the stickers are on (will post pics then too), also has the too short steerer problem so wont be anything wild until i get that sorted anyway, have been offered a steerer extender so will give that a try.
I think the steerer is too short, and I'm not sure an extender is going to be good unless you want to go a lot higher with plenty of stackers. Solutions are either use a shallower stem like below or replace the steerer (it's only a press fit, anyone with a pneumatic press should be able to do it for you). New steerers are £30 from CR, and funnily enough I refused the offer of a used one not long ago because I didn't need it (sorry!)
Bike looks good to me. I like the size 16 shape, and it'll look great with its stickers on.
