Ooooh, which Saffron is his?
I love Matthew's attention to detail, he's worse (better) than about that stuff I am!And yes, that saddle to bar drop is quite big, Matthew also pointed that out. I think it'll be more like 85 - 90mm in the final design. If it's too high it makes my right knee track badly, and if it's too low I get shoulder niggles and tight IT bands.
I have a quil stem on my other bike so have playing around with this whilst the saddle faff etc has been going on.
.gaz.

Bit late to the party here but /subbed - this looks like an amazing build. A mate of mine, now relocated to the SW, has a Saffron (2018-ish) and it's beautiful. IIRC I think he got a bit frustrated with Matthew's attention to minute details and the delay that caused but on the flip side he did say he was totally invested in the build.
As regards fitting, that looks like a hell of a saddle-bar drop on a c.53cm frame!
