Nice. That "notch" is awesome Cripler, with the small amount of rubbing you could consider either filing it down or removing the black plastic pieces and wrapping the chainstays with some rubber from some old tubes. That would lower the top plate enough to not rub. Just be careful and don't tighten it too much and consider using some loctite on the bolt.
