Yes, it's a new frame and new bb. Ah, I see! Might just see if my local bikeshop has one then. Thanks!

Hey,
So I just bought a Dolan PC frameset which I'm assembling with a Miche Primato Advanced crankset and Miche Primato BB. My problem is that it almost seems that the BB won't fit with the frame. I'm really making sure that I'm threading it on the right way and that everything is straight. It goes on for like three spins and then it's stuck and I need to use the tool to get it to move more and it's REALLY tough. It almost feels like I'm cross threading but It's impossible. Instead now I'm afraid that I have the wrong BB which seems impossible aswell haha. I'm using grease and the tool etc. Should I just keep on screwing it on or is something wrong?
Attaching an image of the BB as well. Cheers.
Hey,
So I just bought myself a PC frameset since I'm building a new bike. Unfortunately I've run in to some problems with my chainline and I've tried to read as much as I can about it without coming to a solution. I'm running the PC with a Miche Primato 107mm BB and a Miche Primato Advanced crankset, the rear wheel is a Halo Aero Track with the a fixed sprocket and lockring on it. According to my meassurements the chain is approx. 6mm off and it's making a hell of a sound (See video link: http://www.triphys.com/lfgss/chainline.mp4). I read somewhere that the bottom bracket is supposed to be adjustable but this one has one fixed cup and I can't see how I can possibly get it closer to the frame on the driveside. I also had an idea about putting spacers before the sprocket to push it out more but I can probably only gain a maximum of 1-2mm since there are no more threads. I was also thinking of putting spacers on the wheel hinges just to get it out more but I'm guessing that I need to redish the wheel for that to be a viable option?
So is there anything I haven't thought of that I could do? I have a difficulty seeing how others manage to get this working as I've seen the PC/Miche combo before (except for the wheel). Or is there maybe a specific sprocket/lockring I should go with?
A few more images below if that's helpful for anyone:
