Have you resolved the gear fouling issue yet - and did you get out for a decent spin?

I love this frame, and the build, but when I look where the saddle ends up in relation to the pedals, I can't help thinking it looks waaayy too far back. My old beater suffers from this syndrome as it is an MTB with a very long seatpost, and it makes for a comfy ride but compromised climbing and acceleration, and discomfort on anything beyond 10 mile rides.

So how does yours feel?

PS sorry if you've already discussed this to death!

sadly no solution as yet :( its really far from
ideal but I think filing down the axle and soldering my brake cable should get it rideable just about, also need a new dt shifter as the tension required on the hub is so great that the indexing on the shifter clicks on by itself... anyone got anything in their toolbox?
