I have an old road frame that I found with 3 piece cranks that bolt on to old style bb. It had two chainrings on it the sort that are put together in the factory, cheap nasty ones. I bored off the inner (smaller) chainring with a drill fairly neatly. I've been running this bike as a single speed with an old road wheel re-dished with a BMX free wheel. It all works fine as is.
I have some miche primato hubs that I will be building up next week. What are the chances of this lining up to give me any sort of chainline? I'm sort of thinking not bloody likely.
Is it true that the bottom bracket shell will be a different size on this frame too?
