Thanks.
To match the Surly fixed/disc hub, which I already had built into a wheel. If I'd known I wasn't going to have a rear brake, I'd have used a different hub (prob. Shimano XT front disc with velosolo axle and bolt-on cog) for a narrower chainline and road cranks. I don't mind the wider cranks though, so no big deal.

Fixed Cannondale Synapse disc:
A few changes from stock - Wheels Manufacturing EBB, Deore MTB cranks (for 53mm chainline), Surly Ultra New fixed/disc rear + Shimano XT dynamo front hubs with Stans Alpha 340 rims. B+M Luxos front light. Thomson post as I ham-fistedly cracked the carbon post and no-one else seems to make a decent 25.4mm one.
Trying out the Bigtop Rando bag - only arrived yesterday so first ride on it this morning. Not sure I like the effect on the handling, might work better on a slower-steeering bike.
Wheels Manufacturing Eccentric BB:
Cable guide and rear brake removed as the bolts/axle foul the cables. Might do something about the gaping hole in the BB shell but my nice big front mudflap keeps most of the water out.
Non-drive side cup is a bit tight in the frame but it moves ok if you lean on the lockring wrench hard enough. Seems to be staying in place so far (done 70 miles or so on it) and doesn't creak yet. The seals squeak a bit in the wet so I'll get some more grease under them when I take the BB apart at the weekend - the spacers Wheels Mfg provided with the BB weren't wide enough for the longer MTB crank axle so I need to make one that fits better than the 1" headset spacer I'm currently using to push the NDS crank out.
