Default Bottom bracket spindle (where to find one these days?)

I'm looking for a bottom bracket spindle that fits an Italian width,
but is narrow (to fit the chainline on a fixed gear), however, bottom
bracket spindles seem a rare beast these days, especially for Italian
shell widths. If anyone has an idea, I'd appreciate it.

Toby.

MANY genuine 'bike shops' still can get and have many Italian BBs in all types
of spindle lengths and configurations.

TA, Campagnolo, shimano, FSA, Sugino to name just a few. MO does not decide
what is available.

Thanks- I will look at more shops... Wish I lived near your shop (or
Andy's, or Sheldons)... I did try that route (I find as I read more on
this board, I have less desire to shop MO, not primarily because of
impact on the LBS, but because they don't have what I want), but few
shops where I live now have anything that isn't shimano sealed bottom
brackets (for non campag tapers) or on the other hand, low end (read:
not made for Italian width) utilitarian stuff (which I am usually
satisfied with). I only wanted a spindle because I have a very nice
new set of cups, but need a shorter spindle, and didn't want to waste
money and materials on a new bb when I really only need the spindle
(not that I mind paying a reasonable price for a spindle).
