Unless the frame builder is going to compensate for the B17's short rails, I think you'll need a set-back seatpost. I use the seatpost with the most set-back I could find, the Velo Orange Grand Cru with 30mm set-back.

And I too recommend fatter tires than 32mm. Tires in the 40-45mm range allow more rugged terrain and more comfort overall.
