hehe - I used a similar setup with a chainring in the middle position on some cheapo shimano cranks.. only problem was that I couldn't go bigger than 40/42T else it fouled the chainstay. Do you have the same problem?
What else is hassle with putting the chainring in the middle? It looks a bit ghetto and you may need to do some filing of the crank spider I guess, but from the sound of it thats the solution you need?
I never measured my chainline as it goes.. :-)
What chain are you using, a 5/6 speed one? Singlespeed can cope with poor chainline better than a fixed-gear - it it riding ok?
