@sbbohr can probably help.
I got one from new (with alfine 8) from SJS and it looks like the crank/bb are all stock. I don’t recall having to pay for a different one when speccing the bike out. Did have to pay for various other changed parts from stock…
If in doubt, give SJS a call as they sell them, or I’ve found Ben very helpful on Instagram if you use that (not so good on email)

Does anyone here have experience with the kinetics alfine triangles? tl;dr - what chainline for the chainset?
Longer version - bought a second-hand kinetics rear triangle/alfine-11 wheel a while back & finally got around to start fitting it over the holidays - switching the triangles went ok but the chainring is fouling the wider chainstay when folded. It currently has an old 50t one-piece chainset with ISO bb & (approx) 44mm chainline, looks like I need roughly 50mm chainline to clear the chainstay. The current Brompton chainset seems to also be (approx) 44mm chainline on a 119mm JIS bb, looking at the longest Shimano JIS bb I can see is 127mm, which should give me (approx) 48mm chainline, which /might/ do it but looks tight? Anyone else done this before & have any pointers before I go ahead & order the wrong thing...?
