Question about the chainline... I think

Hey guys,

So I'm in the process of building up my first single speed with my 183rd street frame and I wanted to ask about this:

My concern is how the chain is running on the chain ring... notice how the teeth of the chain ring are to the far side of the chain line... is this okay? Or am I somehow supposed to change this... how would I go about that, I’m already running a 103bb?

Here’s a little sneak peak of the bike... I still got some stuff to do, but I'm very pleased how its coming together... especially this frame, it’s beautiful:

Please ignore the kids stuff around… haha

Thanks in advance!!!

okay... I'm not sure exactly what it is, where do I measure from? The middle of the seat post and middle of the hub?

I’ll have to get them tomorrow after work…

Thanks a bunch guys! :thumbs:
