Thought I'd fucked it on the new frame this morning.
Made good progress joining the downtube and headtube and then went to join that sub-assembly to the bb shell and realised that my assumption that the large diameter of the ebb shell would mean the seat and downtube joints were quite far apart was totally wrong. The tubes themselves probably wouldn't have met but the fillet I'd already laid down on the seattube joint was in the way of the downtube.
I managed to save the day by just dropping the downtube down a bit to meet the bb shell just a little bit off-centre. I should have drawn something up on the computer to show me how close the tubes would get to each other.
