Sheldon Brown has some chainline offset tables on his web site for various cranks, hubs, and freewheels.
Not sure yet what the rear chainline measurement will be. I haven't gotten a rear hub yet. In fact, I'm not even sure yet if it will be a freewheel or cassette rear hub. Thanks for pointing me to the Sheldon Brown article, though.
