If you use the Surly hub then they chainline is 53.5mm which the same as putting a ring on the outer tab of a standard mountain bike chainset. I've got this set up on a surly cross check and initially I wasnt sure if everything would line up, it might me a couple of mm out but it's not making any funny noises or anything.

Flip the hope wheel over and bolt a cog to the disc tabs.
Gives you a chain line around 51mm suitable for MTB chainsets. -
Cheap - Trialtech Sport 135mm Rear Disc
Has this got lockring threads? (might not be an issue for you?)

I have a nature boy disc, the surly hub and a shimano zee crankset with no problems.
Would be interested to know more on your modifications.. im really considering trying to go geared on my NBD

This may be going off topic, but I can't find a specific thread other than AQA, but I have a couple of questions.
Nature Boy Disc - 135mm rear spacing.
I have a Hope Trails rear wheel. Loads of scope to adjust chainline with spacers.
I want a fixed rear wheel too. As far as I can see I have the hub options of:
Cheap - Trialtech Sport 135mm Rear Disc
Mid - Surly Ultra New Mountain Fixed Disc
Expensive - Phil Wood Kiss Off/White Industried ENO
Are those the only options, any reason for one over the other?
What the hell do I do about cranks/chain line?
Where would be the best (cheapest) place to get the frame modified for internal brake and dynamo routing, and maybe light fixings?
I thought this would be simple, but I'm totally being thrown by not having 120mm spacing.
