I am sure I could have made it work but it would not have been a nice low profile mounting. I do eventually want to make a nice big wheel that fills all that space under the frame

We are all waiting to see it! What’s the biggest you think will fit (Allowing

I could probably fit a 54" wheel but plan to make a 48 for now, and by “plan” I mean “eventually get around to” it’s been on the back burner for a couple years.

Oh no, please not! When I think back, which big differences even one degree in saddle tilting made for sitting comfort, the 6 degree pattern of the pivotal posts seems not to be practical.

There was a discussion a while back about this.

Pivotal seatposts seem to be designed with strong, simple, and light in mind, but mostly they’re used on bikes where the saddle isn’t used very much at all.

Someone proposed making the seatpost non-symmetrical by 3 degrees so you could at least get twice the adjustment points. I’m not sure why pivotal seatposts haven’t always been made that way. It just makes sense and would take very minimal changes to the design.

My favorite seatpost style is still the double bolt. You can tweak that sucker into whatever angle you want very easily and methodically. (by just loosening one side and tightening the other by the same amount.)
