No, it's setup fine ... I'm just an idiot. When I got the bike a couple of weeks ago I asked the guy who did the final adjustments/fit about trimming and he told me that it's not possible to trim a shimano triple. So naturally I've been fiddling around with the front derailleur wondering why I can't get it to shift crisply ever since I got the bike.
But yeah, if I account for trimming on the small and medium chainring then everything works perfectly.
Doh!!
