I've got that crank. A 103mm bottom bracket gives me a very nice 42mm chainline, which is standard for most fixed gear wheel/cog combinations. I've got an Origin8 bottom bracket (something else re-branded I'm sure, surprisingly smooth) which I bought from an LBS. You can get a Tange 103 BB from Ben's Cycle. Sugino also makes them that size and are available from various web sites. You can also get one from Velo Orange.
