Not sure how much difference in quality there is going up in price ranges with these BB bearings but i would like to keep it within either low or mid range if possible as I am building on a budget, but something decent I can commute with but also hit the velodrome occasionally, a good compromise.

What do you think?

Sugino used to make a moderately priced 103/68 bb. Coupled with Messenger cranks they make for a nice, straight chainline. The chainring was 48t as I recall.
