I'd recommend DOWN TUBE shifters Especially on a first build. - Allows
easy transofrmation of the bike from drops to moutached to flat, etc
and is encourages you to ride through an unnecessary gear change.

I assume your Phil BB is offset to the right a few mm. That would make

I measured from the smallest chainring to the chainstays. If you take
the 8mm b/t the 107 and the 115 and divide it roughly in half then you
end up with 4mm on either side. If you take 4mm away from the
