Do all octalink cranks have a stupidly wide q factor? I've just measured some up and between the outside crank faces it's 188mm on a 121mm bottom bracket. The narrowest Octalink BB I can find is 113mm, which would give 180mm, which is still quite wide. I've just measured up various bikes and they range from about 145mm for road bikes up to about 178mm for hybrid/dadbikes, so it's beyond any of those.
