Hello, I'm trying to cobble together a fixed gear bike. I've got hold
of a 531c frame and a pair of Track Wheels (MA3 silver, s/s d/b, Suzue
LF fixed/single freewheel) from Parker International. The thing is, I
cant see how to make the chain line straight. Does anyone have any
suggestions for a CHEAP setup? (Chainset, bottom bracket, etc.) At the
moment, I cant see how to line the two gears up...the locknut will
only just go on the thread with the rear gear in place, and it looks
to me like it will be impossible to get it lined up properly anyway.
The frame is true. Ive spent most of today....(sorry
boss)....searching for bits but am unsure how it will, or wont, go
together. Anyone any ideas? Am I missing something here?

Without seeing it, it's hard to answer, but basically it amounts to
one or more of:a) respace axle
b) different BB lengths
c) spaces behind crank and/or sprocketSheldon Brown's site has lots of details.

enough - mine is).cheers,

Have you looked at Sheldon Brown's site? He's got a couple of articles that
look like they might be helpful:
