Looking at your latest photos, I'm seeing that you stretched the chain 3 links at the chainwheels, not two!
That chain is really sagging, not what I expected to see. Remember that the fine-tuning of axle position is critically the "last word" on how the limits of "chain tension" are tuned at both extremes of "gear" selection.
You only have to move the axle 1/4" in one direction or the other for an entire 1/2" link to be taken up or added.
That is a great-looking crankset btw!
