Beautiful frame and color. Nice components so far, too. Hopefully chain-length decisions for the Quickbeam translate over to the SimpleOne.
The exact position is dependent on your rings and cogs. Basically, get it close to the intersection of the stays, and you'll be fine. I aim to put the axle at the pretend meeting point of the chainstays and seatstays, since it seems more attractive and theoretically stronger. I've played around with the extremes, which change the handling a bit, but I was changing gearing or tire size at the same time. You might have to move the axle back a little to give the best clearance to a fatter tire, but 35s should have a lot of latitude. Enjoy the ride!
