Ok, I've made some measurements, and it's starting to look like my inexperience has caused me to acquire a selection of parts that don't go well together. Here's what I've got:
the hub gives a rear chainline (using 120mm locknut spacing) of about 37mm. the shortest front chainline I can get (using the original cranks) is 39mm. seems close, but it looks noticeably off, and is noisy as hell. currently stumped, and grateful for any advice that may be forthcoming.
(chainline aside, I assume I'm also going to have to do something about that 7mm difference between the dropout spacing and the hub spacing. note to self: do homework before buying parts)
