Hi all,
I recently brought a frame and forks of eBay with the hope of building this up as a fixed gear bike - this is my first time building a bike from scratch and I figured it would give me more of an understanding of chainlines etc. and try and get it looking just as I want.
The frame has 120mm-spaced track end forks and came with a miche square taper bottom bracket with english threads - as best as I can make out, the spindle is 107mm long.
I read the Sheldon Brown article on chainlines and interchanging JIS and ISO cranks on an ISO BB but I can't figure out whether I should try to find cranks to fit the bottom bracket or vice versa - in terms of what I'm after, I like the look of Campagnolo Record cranks and would try to find a second hand set of these - would something like that work ok??
Thanks,
Dan
