Is there an adapter that can allow the left front stay to be fixed to the fork to get around the caliper being in the way?

Croix de Fer by the way.

I bent mine so they run below the calliper and then cut to length

I use these on both ends. Neater than the alternative solutions, and cost about £1.50 each.

Just fitted some to mine. All you need is a long bolt and something to space it out - Presta valve nuts, calliper brake mount bolts, V-brake pad spacers, that sort of thing

That said, Jacks solution above is a good one

Creative stay shaping worked on my commuter.

At the back a length of brass tube worked.

Same as above, this is Mrs PPs Ridgeback but I did exactly the same on my CDF

Bending the stays works fine, I just prefer the aesthetics of unbent ones!
