Yeah, I think it was more of a learning curve for the builder - I seem to remember he kept the stock geo.
If my Spitfire cracks in the usual spot, and I'm at liberty to go down this rabbit hole, I'd be tempted by a 29" front with a taller head tube, steeper SA, +20mm reach and a HA of 63°/64° (with the dropout adjustment) @140mm fork. Hopefully that would also give space for a bottle inside the triangle.
