Right I am getting myself in a right old tangle thinking about all this.
First thing to say is that, at this point, I just want to to get a rideable fixed build going so I am not too constrained by having to find "correct vintage" parts.
Also, I have a modern, fixed, wheelset that I intend to use to begin with.
Should the next step be figuring out BB or chainset? The former seems constrained by my BB shell and, partially, the cups I already have.
If I measure up the BB shell will it tell me if there is a one stop shop BB and chainset option available to me? Presumably I need to know the shell diameter and thread pitch? Anything else?
Post number 2 on this thread is already starting to haunt me.
