If you need to move the chainline inboard, which you will have to do for most fixed gear wheelsets, you're basicaly down to a longer bb and running the chainring on the inside.

There's nothing going for this crankset at all but it seems to be extremely popular. Makes no sense. This is why I dislike it. Anyways that's besides the point. Already given you two options from this thread alone. One does not require tossing your current bb (possibly).
