That point about them coming up small is true. I think they're measured C t T rather than C t C. I'm 6'1 and managed with the biggest size, you might need to have a few spacers though.
Don't worry about the chainline, just buy a track or single speed chainset and you'll be fine. If you use a road one get a 107 BB and maybe put the chainring on the inside of the spider if it looks a bit off.
My new visp build should come in at under £500 and have decent parts.
