I read it as he was looking for recommendations for a crankset that will be on a bike that will specifically be for single speeding, not necessarily an SS specific crank. Regardless, it probably won't be necessary for a different BB which ever way he goes. Especially if he's converting an old cassette wheel for SS duty. Plenty of chainine adjustment back there. Just don't want to see anyone droping extra cash when they don't need to when converting a 12 year old bike.
