Have you thought about a cheap set of Sram road cranks? Ebay, or they come up for sale on here too. Not too expensive, and could take a chainring on the inside of the spider to give ~42mm chainline (I think, anyway!). That'd give you options for running smaller chainrings for touring, too.
I had a set of the on-one cranks a while back. They worked fine, but used a shimano-style BB so I don't think they're compatible with the gxp system.

It's a sad sight seeing the Orlowski sitting pristine and unbuilt in the corner of the bike room, that and thoughts of sunny days out in the countryside and laps of Herne Hill are getting me pretty excited to build it up.
For now, to have both the Orlo and Dolan built up, I just need forks, cranks and a seatpost.
Really not sure what route to go down for forks…I've narrowed it down to three options:
Thoughts/experience on this conundrum would be much appreciated.
Also I wanted another set of Omniums for maximum interchangeability between bikes but they seldom come up for sale cheap and RRP is a bit rich for me at the moment with the other necessary purchases. I might have a BB installed on each bike for now and switch cranks when I want to ride.
…that or a set of On-ones, anyone have any experience of these? I was also considering Andels or something along those lines but once BB and chainring are factored in they aren't that far off omnium money.
