What chain tensioner did you use ?
I had an alfine fitted to a Jestream and had a lot of difficulty, most tensioners dont have enough horizontal offset to get the chain lined up, at first the bike shop put the rear mech back on and used that as a tensioner, but it ended up looking quite ugly, and with not very much ground clearance. In the end they found a single arm / wheel that did the job, much neater. If I was converting a Mezzo I would look for a rear triangle off of a D4, with a horizontal drop out, to fit.
