2. The left cantilever hanger is approximately 2 - 3 degrees off center.

Other than that everything looks fine. The paint job is gorgeous. The welding is satisfactory; I didn't see any butts that concerned me. No dents or scratches. All of the cable stops were centered on the tubes and parallel with the tubes.

I'm not a frame builder, but I find the build satisfactory.
I don't know how happy I'd be about that. I assume you mean one of the left cantilever bosses, correct? If not, the left/front hanger should be a seperate piece that is not part of the frame; simply loosen up your stem, move the hanger, then tighten back down.
