It is very close - on the small chain ring it would rub if I went to the small 
cog, but I don't. The large ring clears by ~.5cm on the small cog. It was one 
of the least thought-out parts of my bike, but worked out anyway. My heel 
sometimes rubs the front frame.
One other thing I noticed was that smooth shoes and plastic pedals are not the 
best for this. They do not want to stay on the pedals unless pushing, because 
of the vertical foot position.

A higher cadence would be a big help in the climbs. I also find that in high 
gear I wobble if my cadence is the "wrong" speed. It might correspond to the 
natural frequency of the self-centering frame; I feel like the cadence is in 
resonance with my weight. It could be calculated, I would think.

I looked into dampers, but did not find a small, cheap one yet.

(I also need to figure out why I didn't get python posts lately - I saw this on 
the list archive. Maybe my filters...)
