Current Projects chat and miscellany

Thanks a lot! That answers my first question about the chainline. What makes matters more complicated is the fact that the bike in question has a french threaded stronglight 118mm iso bb in it. Since the starfish is designed for iso, I could temporarily run it with 3mm spacers between the spiderarm and the chainring. In the long run, I'd like to run the cranks without spacers which means I have a couple options on which I need some forum expertise:

1. Getting the BB refaced to BSA or ITA threading. I read somewhere that it's possible to get it refaced to one of the more common threading types, don't remember which one it was atm.
   
2. Replace the spindle with a shorter one. I figure it would be really difficult to find one that checks all the boxes.
   
3. Get one of the velo orange bb's. They are jis tapered but according to sheldon it's unproblematic to put an iso crank on a jis taper. The only difference is that it sits 1-2mm further out. Which means I would probably have to go for the 107mm jis version.
   
   

Any input and advise is appreciated :)
