if you want to bring it out a bit at the back, you could shift the axle spacers over so that the hub sits closer to that side, but you'll need to rebuild the wheel with some funky reverse dish in.
Easier would probably be to get a bottom bracket with a shorter spindle.
[edit] get some pics on here, it'll be much easier to see what can be done then!

what length is that campy BB?
I was having problems with my GB chain line being out using a 107 BB on a Miche crank which should be perfect but it was out
I ended up using a 103 FSA ISO and the miche cranks and it came up perfect
so um mix and match? -

I'd recommend that.
I spent ages last year trying to get stuff all to work. Was a bloody nightmare. New BB = sorted.

Get some measuring calipers out. Sheldon covers measuring if you have trouble getting your head round it.
If your riding fixed you want a sweet chainline... it's what it's all about.

Just measure your chainline, there's no 'just have a look at it' about it at all.
If you chainline isn't straight --> more likely throw the chain --> more likely to come off --> more likely to get mowed down my a car.
my mate at the weekend came off his langster and ended up in A&E because his drivechain wasn't sorted properly.

You don't even need calipers, just a 15p plastic ruler.

calipers will make your life easier though. and second to the no eyeballing it, the chain stays are at an angel, making it hard to eyeball a straight line.

Also, don't bang your head against the wall.

I've got a small selection of spacers (for hub to sprocket) if you need to nudge it out a mill or two

Chain is good guys, head has been removed from the wall cheers ya'll, but getting the cups off my old ride is pissing me off something rotten.
spent best part of day searching out 32mm headset spanner in about 6 cycle stores aswell...best people are two wheels good church st n16 a breath of fresh air and can't do enough better than shitty BLB and mosquito all sort of of stuck up bike shops that attitude is more than service..
Trying to assemble a vast amount of pieces into a new bike, the plan is to sort out my Gazelle champion mondial road frame to fixie. products to hand- Miche pista BB+Crankset, Campagnolo centor BB + sugino crankset+ Velocity+System ex rear wheels,lock ring, surly cog, one each.
Problem is rear spacing is 130mm and have rear hubs spaced out but still some cm's out to have straight chain, am i just wasting my time with the frame hub set or can I achieve something resembling a straight chain line? can something be added to rear hub to bring it out a bit?
am i trying to bang square pegs into round holes?
