Wow, beautiful!
Half link maybe? (Not the whole chain, just one link) I know it's not "pure", but it works.. -
The clearance of the rear wheel is about the same as the front (with the downtube), I think it is fine personally. You could also increase the size of the cog/chainring by maybe one or two teeth (depending on if you like the new ratio).
Great looking bike though. Awesome wheels.

awesome

I think the rear wheel sits perfectly, it has the same gap as the front.
I hate a slammed rear and a gap showing in the front, it reminds me of when a car is poorly modified and sits lower at the rear...>

Had this frameset sat around 28 months but today, finally, I took it out on the road to see how it goes. Frustratingly that 50/17 combination and the stay length means there's not quite enough space to lose a link and move that rear wheel forwards a bit.
