Right then. Are you sure you can't remove the cranks. I've found soaking them in plus gas (anti seize spray) for 24hrs will 9 times out of 10 do the trick. If this fails then heating the seized area with a blowtorch then using a crank extractor should work. Otherwise I feel your gonna be in a hold world of pain as road chainsets usually require a b/b with a width of 116-122.5 whereas single speeds (fixed) usually need between 107-110. If I were you try and get the cranks off then see if you can remove the b/b. 10% effort 110% reward.......

ouch. That's not what i wanted to hear. I'm hesitant of changing these also because of serious budget limitations. Is there any workaround for a situation like this? Situation: need to get wheels built and on the road.

Going to try this thread for my newbie question if you don't mind. I got a road frame to replace my stolen bike, and it comes with bb and road cranks (shimano) that can't be removed. I'm keeping them and getting a wheelset built with Gran Compe hubs. Has anyone experience / any idea of how difficult getting a good chainline with this setup would be? How should I prepare to get through this without too much sweating? This will be my first fixer so yeah
