Thanks for the great information, interested to hear how you get on with your DA road crankset build. The 7400 are lovely looking cranks, I just wish the track version would be cheaper.
The frame I'm using is a well worn Mercian vincitore by the looks of it, but it is equipped with dual brakes bosses, mud-guard eyes, front fork light attachment(?) and cable run eyes. Unusual beastie but perfect for a commuter single-speed/fixie, as it has the track style drop outs. The plan would be to use a flip flop wheelset, but I don't know if that would impact fine tuning of the chain line if combined with the road crankset (would definitely have to fiddle with the chainring bolts). Might be easier to just seek a cheap track crankset.
