Interesting. I've got a recent (silver) QB and have a full 1 cm of clearance between the smallest (32t) chainring and the stay with the stock, 32t inside ring, BB and cranks. I wonder if RBW changed something to allow more clearance?
BTW, I'm running a White Industries dual freewheel in the back. With the chain on the outside chainring and the outside freewheel cog, I've got what seems to be perfect chainline - ditto with the inside combo. Eric, I can definitely relate to the anxiety caused by realizing how close the clearance is. I changed out the worn-out middle chainring on my Bombadil for another that, apparently, had slightly taller teeth (same ring size, though - 34t). As I tightened the crank down I thought, "wow! that's close." It was. The middle ring rubbed the chainstay! I switched out the BB for something a couple of mm longer and everything runs great.
