DeRosa pic/chainline help!!!

Long time lurker, first time posting. Just picked up a used DeRosa track bike and building a fixie out of it. It's got an Italian BB so getting parts for it locally (Honolulu) is pretty difficult.



I've got PW hubs and cog on it. According to Sheldon Brown, I've got a chainline of 42.8. I've looked at all the LBSs and there's a Campy Chorus 102mm. Guys around town tell me it's too short and I'll need something between 109-111mm. But according to Campy's website, the Chorus BB produces a chainline of 43.5mm, which should be close enough.

Should I just get the Chorus BB and put on whatever crankset I can find for now? Or will the 102mm Chorus BB not be a good fit?

Any thoughts/suggestions/help is appreciated.
