So ultimately i want the chain ring on the outside of the crank legs but the chain line to the larger rear ring is pretty bad. So i moved it to the backside of the legs. Not wanting to see the step down on the crank legs i cit the teeth off the old outer chain ring ground the circumference smooth then sanded 320, 600, 2000 and buffed. Want your thoughts on the look. Yes no whatever. Gold chain to much? Wifey says it is lol and she is pretty smart. This is a cruiser now not a rough trail rider.
A narrower BB may correct your chainline, but the inner position is correct for the original BB and watch for crank arm strike. Colored chains are not my thing, and gold is not my fave color by far, but its your bike. Proper chain length is a bigger deal than color for me.
