83mm crankset on 73mm/68mm bb?
I know this has been asked quite a lot, but what do you think? Will it disrupt the chainline too much if I get an adapter? I snagged a brand new pair of funn hookah dh cranks off ebay for £25 which is why I'm asking! Thanks

Still kicking.
Won't work. Can space it out to work, but it will really really really screw up the chainline.
