OK, I measured the rear and the spacing is supposed to be 110mm. I measures 112mm and can easily bump out to 120mm. I ordered a set of the Somax wheels. I'm trying to figure out what crank to buy and what size bb I need. The bb shell is Italian so it measures 70mm.

I'm thinking a couple posibilities:

Cheap route: Dotek / Bulletproof
Less cheap: Sugino RD

I haven't found much on the Dotek other than BMX cranks can have higher Q.

On Sheldon's site, he says that with the Suginos and a 107 bb will equal a 44mm chainline. He also says that bikes with 120mm rears have a 42mm chainline.

Is this 2mm going to mess things up? Could I just get a 105mm bb and everything would line up? The only 105mm bb I saw were Phil Wood's which isn't really in my price range.

Hopefully this isn't too confusing...I'm a little myself though.
