bulletproofs are doubles, and with a 107mm bb, will run a 47.1 chain line on the outside, 39.7 on the inside. neither of these are a really good chain line for standard track spacing, which usually leaves the rear at 42, though i don't think being off by 2mm (from the inner) will be a big deal if you have a tight chain. in general though--and this is just my preference--i'd stay away from bulletproofs for its q-factor, though many people have run bulletproofs just fine.
cool, thanks! I have until spring for this project (my bike is tucked away in storage for winter), so I am just starting to look at options, maybe I will hold off and go for a true track crank.. and actually pull my bike out an measure before I do anything.
