Spent a day building the bike today and seemed to be making good progress - headset installed, BB installed, etc. Homemade headset press worked a treat.
Was just about to call it a day and I thought I'd try mounting the crankset. It soon became obvious that the inner chainring was going to clash with the frame - frustrating as I'd purchased that BB (pictured) specifically with advice from the vendor that it would work with the Gran Sport double chain set.
Not sure where I go from here - change the chainset to suit the BB or change the BB to suit the Gran Sport chain set. What would be the most painless route? I presume buying a BB with a longer axle might be straightforward. The one I have is 116mm. what will I need to guarantee the chainring clears the frame?
