My bikes.

73mm bottom bracket too. I've never had an issue like this. The travel is there I can move the cage up to the stop manually, but the sti is not pulling enough cable.
Barcon on there now trimming is a thing 🥰

I had another look at your pictures and suddenly realised that I have actually used a similar combination on a bike I very recently built for mrs non-fixie.

Only done a short test ride yet, but I don't recall there being any rubbing.

Claris shifters, FSA Tempo cranks and a Deore dual pull FD.

The chain line is pretty appalling after the 6th sprocket. A lot of deflection, I'm not entirely surprised it rubbed. I'm fairly convinced it's the roller causing a pull ratio issue.
 
A Tory's Teak!
Brat 50s, nice.
Smoother than a gal, imo.
Those chainsets can fold rings if you work too hard but
A) you might know this🤔
B) you might not do this😉

Great find.
Time for the oily rag of gigfy👍

3: Gal and her sister SuperGal, probably can be found in your stable?

👍
I'm so dim, 25 watt me🙄

I've had many Gals and a couple of Super Gals. I'll probably be flamed, but I think they are completely overated. I loved restoring and owning them but if they don't speak to you or make you think "This is great" they get sold.
My Randonneur, Royals in either 531 or 708 are far superior IMO.
