The frame was a Raleigh Record Sprint road bike. I'm using the bottom bracket that came with it. I also have the original crank, but was planning to use a nicer looking singlespeed one I picked up cheap 2nd hand.
I've also been having chainline problems, so maybe I should try to sort out a combination of BB/crank that will give me the right chainline? Or maybe just go back to the original crank. (The ss crank won't allow for mounting the chainring on the outside).
So I guess I'm trying to use a crank that's designed for a longer BB. bugger.
I've done a couple of ss conversions without any chainline/bb problems, this is my first fixed gear, seems to be a much trickier proposition.
