First, thanks for the detailed replies, despite being a life long rider I have zero SS experience, it's a new language.
My first look at this was similar, drop two links , all fixed. In order ,however, to move the wheel forward enough to engage the quick link I had to deflate the tire because it was hitting the seat tube. After getting every thing all back in position, chain tensioned , tire filled, I have almost zero clearance between the tire and the seat tube. I'm good with running close tolerances, but this is close. I think a few hundred miles wear on the tire may change things.
BTW, if it makes a difference I am not running fixed on this bike, that's a freewheel in there.
Also I have a very good bite on the frame the way it sits, she's not going anywhere but I would rather be a scant 1/2 inch forward in the drop out.
