I’ve not disassembled it yet to be sure but no, I’m 99% sure with the idler you’re fixed for chainline.
There’s always ways to improve it though. Smaller chain ring, ignore the 52t cog, maybe (we’ll see) run a T-Type cassette with a cable SRAM drivetrain.
I won’t have the bike long enough to get really adventurous but I’ll at least explore ideas in writing.
.
First ride impression - just out and about - is that the design works shockingly well (pun intended) with the basic Super Deluxe (which I had heard to be the case). That’s a neat sort of more complicated bike, less complicated shock min-max-money-wise trade-off, potentially.
