Back when I was building the Rockhopper I picked up a Howitzer BB & cranks for a tenner on ebay - they look to be bombproof and are just right for the bike.
Unfortunately the BB only has a single 2.5mm spacer and as far as I can see it's designed to have adjustable chainline on 73mm and this frame has a 68mm BB.
This meant that when I tightened the cups into the frame the axle pushed the bearings/dust covers off...
