If they have a euro BB conversion kit, you can totally do it. It's been done with Profiles plenty o' times.

On Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/REDLINE-Threaded-Bottom-Bracket-English/dp/B000AJXVOS/sr=1-5/qid=1160782291/ref=sr_1_5/102-5494010-2336950?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods), of all places.

I know someone here is running Profiles on their fixed. I remember they're using a Profile chainring for that extra burly effect as well.

yo, just get any euro bmx crank, and you're golden, especially if you're putting it on an iro or something.

Just watch your chainline.
