new BB/crankset worth it?
I've got an old road bike (late 70s-ish) that I've stripped of everything except the BB and cranks. I want to convert this to a FG, but don't know if I should/need to invest in a new BB+cranks. Why do people get new BBs/cranks? My LBS says they can repack the BB for $20, and the cranks look ok to me (I can't really tell).
Also, is it still be possible to have a straight chainline with the old BB/cranks? (it was a double chainring before I took everything off)
